Tink's One Minute CD Reviews . . .Finally!

I've been wanting to do this forever. My reviews are short and simple, hence the title, One Minute Reviews. So I apolgize if the CD has been out for awhile and I'm just now reviewing it. I'm calling this series Better Late than NEVER!!!

Ad Frank " Is The World's Best Ex-Boyfriend"
I liked it. I thought vocally he was o.k. but I really liked the music lyrically and musically!

Bob's Country Bunker"Wellwater"
What can I say, I'm a sucker for this kind of music. A little Reverend and a dash of Hillbilly Hellcats and you have Bob's Country Bunker.

TKO Records Present:
SACTO Sacramento Report featuring:
Pressure Point
Whisky Rebels
Killing the Dream
The Secretions
The Roustabouts

TKO Records takes a sample of the Sacramento Music Scene. Nobody stood out but I think they all have potential. I did enjoy The Secretions " All My Rowdy Friends" and the Roustabouts "Freedom"

Dirtminers "Meat and Electricity"
As they say, never judge a book by it's cover. I totally thought this band was going to be industrial/techno but no way, jose. They are very much a country influenced band and they rock!

Strychnine "Born in a Bar"
This band is all over the map when in comes to influences. I totally hear Fugazi, Rancid and the Misfits influences. They grow on you. The 1st half is good the second goes a little more hardcore for my tastes but I think they are worth a listens.

Legendary Shack Shackers "Believe"
Where have I been and why have I been missing this band. Come back to L.A. soon!

Palo Duro Presents: Texas Unplugged Vol. 1
Maybe just a little too country for me but I liked Becca Dalrymple, Sisters Morales, Terri Hendrix and Eleven Hundred Springs.
I'm looking forward to Vol.2

Lagwagon "Live in a Dive"
It's o.k. I liked the artwork!

Retching Red "Get Your Red Wings"
If you like hardcore, in your face, punk rock . . . go for it.

The Briefs "Sex Objects"
It was good!

Gosling S/T
A very social conscience group.

Pistol Grip "Tear it all Down"
A real solid punk rock album.
