Magnet School
Catalog ID: AR22
Tonight We Drink...Tomorrow We Battle The Evil CD
Magnet School conducts a brilliant experiment by capturing and amplifying the
electrifying presence of U2 from their song Bullet the Blue Sky
and building an entire album around its sounds and ideas. You'll hear the blues,
rock, psychedelia, angst, and commitment that are hallmarks of this U2 classic
carried to entertaining and thought-provoking extremes.

Phonograph
Catalog ID: AR17
Phonograph
Those who hear Phonograph must first clear their ears of inevitable echoes of
others; Tom Pett references inevitably attach to Matthew Welsh's voice and
songwriting, while Wilco reminders speak to how well Phonograph plays against
standard acoustic American rock cliches. Beyond that, Phonograph manages to
question every rock song premise while remaining solidly at home within the
genre. Acoustic and electronic sources blend in a soundscape that is beautiful
and absorbing.

Hognose
Catalog ID: AR04
Longhandle
Hognose is a heavy metal band whose driving, straightforward rhythm and lyrics
heark back to Black Sabbath, Motorhead, or Metallica. Call it "stoner rock," or
call it "thrash metal," those who care for such music can't help but like what
they'll hear. Several standout tunes include "Sneech" whose cymbal/guitar intro
really gets things moving, where "Black Angus" is a two-minute paean to totally
engaging power rock. Those who listen while driving had better keep an eye on
the speedo, or find themselves pulled over trying to keep up with the beat.
