Starr Tucker: CD Reviews

Here's what I found in me box this month...

Winter Warmers...

SNATCH MAGNET rock the fuck out with - Screw, Nut & Bolt – This is serious production with some serious talent on board. With a nod to the metal gods in Call Of The Maiden just proves they can, but this is not the sum total, the rest of this 7 track CD has way more going on, a veritable eclectic collection of abilities from these five LA dudes… now get on with it and create some more! You just proved you can do everyone else’s, now find yourselves!

JAY BANERJEE sends us Kissing Booth – I’ll Pay You $10 – pure pop to get you thru your heartbreaks – sweet! This is really lovely stuff coming all the way from Brooklyn. Unassuming and full of self-loathing, just the type to take home to meet mom, except… he is… his music has a wonderful sense of what music is made of. Crafted with love and understanding.

THE DIEMAKERS – bring us Assault All Your Senses - a nod to the underground 60s rock steady beat. “Please Don’t Go” reaches low distortions that totally hit that acid groove. I’m gonna keep my eye on these rockers, I feel promise of things to come!

MARK PRINDLE - My Wife Beats Me Because These Songs Are Terrible – this is art and it has no boundaries, rhythmic chaos which somehow feels soothing and right and makes you feel perfectly at home – remember Velvet Underground – well there you go. Makes you think, what the hell is going on, why am I here, why is this here, the fundamental questions of life are all here in this cd by the inimitable genius that is Mark Prindle. Just ask him, I’m sure he won’t disagree…

DELUKA bring in the poppunk magic to the max with You Are the Night – all the way from Birmingham UK with a voice made from black satin sheets. Think abba vs blondie, yeah, I know, but for some reason, this chick’s got attention grabbin’ that makes me wanna rave all nite, then go out and kill little kittens… (Hey, calm down Starr - NYWaste cares and no kitten or any other creature living or otherwise was harmed during the creation of this newspaper or write up or condones such behavior or even suggests it. Starr is out of control!! - Ed.)

DARK SHADOWS – Invisible – no more, this 5 track teaser of what’s to come is “This Is As Good As It Gets” and that’s the word. Magic prevails in this vamp-billy trio, given half a chance, they’ll whip your butt baby! So do us all a favor go grab yourself a piece of this! This band just does it the way it should be done - with f***in’ finesse!
