Third Harmonic Distortion Review

This was originally published in issue 13 of Married Punks from 1998.


Third Harmonic Distortion

Like noisy guitars?  Like feedback?  Like emotional vocals?  Like to hear "Psycho Killer" from Talking Heads covered?  Like people that get ungodly sounds from their instruments?  Well, I do.  Therefore, I like Third Harmonic Distortion.  I'm not a big fan of having to search for hidden tracks, though, so that's a complaint, but my only one.

A lot of people have compared this band to Fugazi.  I wouldn't go that far, but if you dig Fugazi's sound, you just may like this.

Space Cookie Your CD Collection Still Sucks Review

This was originally published in issue 13 of Married Punks, published in 1998.


Space Cookie Your CD Collection Still Sucks

This CD is a collection of rare songs and out of circulation 7"s bearing the Space Cookie name.  Interesting.  It seems that I've been missing out on some decent punk rock.

At times, there are hints of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, and at others, Rancid, but with more balls, for lack of a better word.  Great get-your-ass moving music that belongs in your CD player.

I don't, however, think that every song is a classic.  Instead of dwelling on that though, listen to "Surfstoff," "Dreamtime" and "Gun, Butts and Glory."  Those are the stand-out tunes.
