Starr Tucker: CD Reviews Here's what I found in me box this month... ZOE VETTE AND THE REVOLVERS - MODERN SCIENCE - SOCIAL HERO - LESS THAN UNDER - THE SLOW POISONER - PIE BOYS FLAT - YESMISTERBLOODVESSEL - MEAN VENUS - PUBLIK PARKING - BLACK 29 - PINK STEEL Spring is springing, the birds are back, time to go a hunting   ZOE VETTE AND THE REVOLVERS – oh yeah - here it comes - Trash is The New Glamour - ZVR put the balls back into rock like a millennium Blackheart’s midsummer night’s dream! This is THE hot new bad grrrl band all the way from NC. Catch ‘em if you can – Fuck Yeah! http://www.myspace.com/zoevette1   Hailing from sin city Las Vegas, this duo create a really hot dance indie pop sound - I wanna see the MODERN SCIENCE video ASAP… mixing a future forward sound together, producing a Buggles (Video Killed The Radio Star) kinda music. If these guys will hit the charts once in their lifetime, every song is fun filled, toe tapping, head boppin’ good. This summer’s DJ beach party concert! www.myspace.com/modernscienceband     SOCIAL HERO bring us The Famous – if this is heralding “in a Renaissance of Rock and Roll” bring it on & pass the ‘shrooms please - smooth guitars – smoother harmonies – a rhythm section mapping out dreams. Something fresh has arrived in this world. This is seriously sweet, delicious in fact. Remember Genesis? http://www.socialhero.com/ http://www.myspace.com/socialhero   LESS THAN UNDER bring us Looking Through You – a nice mix of vocals and mean machine speed guitar grabbing you by the balls and waking you up to a fresh new future. Bring it on! http://www.myspace.com/lessthanunder   THE SLOW POISONER bring us Magic Casket a tale of mystery and foreboding, a strange exotic tale from Andrew Goldfarb (who is The Slow Poisoner, mark my words) with a little help from his fiends, yes fiends I tell ya! He takes you all kinda places thru every-man’s land, (well some,) through the sea, through mumbo jumbo, and to where you never could imagine you might end up. And at the end of it all you’ll be delighted to have discovered that it is a miracle … I declare ‘tis a real cure-all! Tis magic, I tell ya! http://www.theslowpoisoner.com/   Uproot The Island - cries PIE BOYS FLAT - these boys from Queens produce cool reggae rock with excellent vocals & harmonies… learning their art from the ground up, well underground… the subway platforms with a djembe and an acoustic guitar they are now into their third album and you certainly will feel the groove on this one… http://www.myspace.com/pieboysflat   Ummagumma we got ourselves a live one here - NYC born YESMISTERBLOODVESSEL are Racing The Relapse – this album kicks ass when it comes to an experimental experience filling the space with alternative energy to burn. Multi-instrumentalist Christian Peppas shares his space with us on this well accomplished album. Well worth the visit. http://www.myspace.com/yesmisterbloodvessel http://www.yesmisterbloodvessel.com/   MEAN VENUS send us PCP – These guys Rock! Pure Rock from NJ! They have passed through the great traditions of heavy rock to bring us solid good vibes. They accomplish a great balance as they take us on a cool ride through the gods of rock past, check out “Invisible”, to the present, check out “Let The Feeling Go”, and find their own voice in this album. http://www.myspace.com/wwwmeanvenuscom   Flint Michigan’s own PUBLIK PARKING bring us Pavlov’s Dog – this is a tripped-out place to park your crazy… Powerhouse Monica gives a full-on vocal pitch (think the dark side of Nina Hagen) while the gnarly metal beats back her with excellent grit. http://www.publikparking.com   BLACK 29 is tops in it’s class - a nice mixture of thrash vs rock – a great diversity in their influences go to create this soundscape - expertly beating out the future road to a pop metal utopia… They don’t disappoint. http://www.myspace.com/black29nc www.Black29Music.com   All the way from frisky Frisco - PINK STEEL the best of gay heavy metal - send us Out At The Devil with tracks like “Sausage Party” and “We Fight for Cock!” you know you’re in for a good one. Big hair metal taking it to a new dimension! Cross-dressing the sound between Poison, Rob Halford, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, and of course Cher. Fantastic vocals, raunchy guitar riffs and tight as assholes drumming taking it to new heights of mascara – you gotta soak this one in with a large… well, you can guess… www.pinksteel.com   Rock solid fun to the max SNEW the latest in a long line of Hollywood metal hair bands sends us Snew You. With AC/DC vocals & hard hitting rock’n roll backing SNEW gets it across with extreme virtuosity. This stuff is such fun! What’s not to love about SNEW. http://www.myspace.com/snewmusic   Send your stuff to: Starr Tucker c/o New York Waste PO Box 20005, W.
