3 Mile Pilot (2001)
Songs For An Old Town
San Diego's hardest hitters, Three Mile Pilot, offer up another winner with 'Songs from an Old Town We Once Knew'. An absolutely stunning package of 7" singles and unreleased material that plainly sho
Daddys Hands (2001)
Tutankahmum
What a strange record! It could probably be described as slightly avant-garde, except it doesn’t really seem to have much of an intellectual angle. Daddy's Hands certainly seem to have had some fun
Firebird Band (2001)
The Drive

X-impossibles (2001)
White Knuckle Ride
Kickin’ off with a sample of turbo-charged drag racing, the X-Impossibles boldly titled debut, produced by former Sugar bass player, Dave Barbe, spits, snarls and swaggers in equal measure, but probab
