Semisonic – All About Chemistry
Artist: Semisonic Title: All About Chemistry Label: MCA Rating: 4/10 Semisonic wants to be cool. They are trying so hard that they might even convince themselves.

Sasha – Interview
Have you prepared yourself for America? I think so. (laughs) Have you had to spend a lot of time away from home? Over in Germany and Europe it’s different because it’s not as big. If you have a hit record and have to travel, it’s not that difficult to get home. But I came over…

American Hi-Fi – Interview
I heard you’ve been pretty sick. Man, I got knocked down with the flu really bad. I haven’t been that sick since I was in high school. We had to cancel shows. It was a gnarly fever and I couldn’t even get out of bed for three days. It has to effect you more now…

Alien Ant Farm – Anthology
Artist: Alien Ant Farm Title: Anthology Label: Dreamworks Rating: 8/10 Anthology should be at the front of the most-wanted alternative hits bin. It’s plain and simple, a good rock album. Each song contains hard-hitting guitar riffs, ever-present drum talent, and lyrics that everyone can relate to. It’s an album you can listen to over and…

Vitamin C – Interview [2001]
As she got ready for Politically Incorrect, I had a chance to chat with Vitamin C. You’re pretty busy now. Yeah, really busy. How do you like the hectic schedule? I don’t mind it. You can never complain about being too busy, I guess. Now that films have taken up more of your time, do…

Koffee Brown – Mars/Venus
Artist: Koffee Brown Title: Mars/Venus Label: Arista Rating: 7/10 The duo of Koffee Brown brings hot R&B with a few teaspoons of sugar and a little soulful cream. “Weekend Thing” opens Mars/Venus with a tender hand that helps you through the door for the venturous “After Party”. Koffee Brown brings it down a notch for…

The Dave Matthews Band – Everyday
Artist: The Dave Matthews Band Title: Everyday Label: RCA Rating: 6.5/10 The Dave Matthews Band brought on a heavy hitting producer whose past hits run the gamut from Aerosmith to Alanis. Even more surprising is that Ballard and Matthews wrote the entire record together! So I couldn’t wait for what was sure to surprise and…

Grand Theft Audio – Blame Everyone
Artist: Grand Theft Audio Title: Blame Everyone Label: London Rating: 7/10 Grand Theft Audio is a foursome from London that cooks pure meth hooks. With jaded songs about love and drugs mixed with candied melodies, you are never sure what to expect next. “Stoopid Ass” comes with a honey of a hook complete with a…
