Your Tongue or Your Life
4-song CD/EP $5
|
Release Date
November 19, 2005
"Full-throttle jams stop and turn on a dime, easing into quieter, more melodic reprieves. Montgomery’s guitar is fluid, forever searching and investigative, while Schmidt and McCarty seem to know instinctually when to pummel and when to caress. Although one does hear ‘voices’ now and again, the absence of a singer puts the focus squarely on the music."

8-song CD/LP $8

Release Date
November 15, 2005
"Bogner's drums crush, urgent, yet precise. Schmidt's bass thunders along, deep and fervently pulsing. Chris
Charlton's guitar lines weave in and out of the hammering rhythms laid down by his band mates to steer the tunes
to careening highs and lows. The songs nearly burst off of the disc, pushing, pulling and building tension before
exploding."

Organelle
Release Date
September 14, 2004
"The title Organelle refers to a specialized part of a biological cell analogous to an organ in the body
that floats in the cytoplasm and carries out specific functions vital to existence. Huh? What they're
trying to say in the liner notes of the well-paced, split label alt-rock meets post-grunge compilation is
that every music sperm on this disc is sacred. Fourteen veteran indie bands display their best wares here
and the results are mostly captivating. Ampline evokes early 'Placebo' in the tortured "Red and Yellow
Can Harm a Fellow." DIY rockers thistle belt out "Wildest Coat-Tails" with a furious rush of
linear distortion and time-tested garage rock bravado. Rollercoaster dynamics, harrowing guitar breaks
and furious drum beats fuel El Gigante's epic, "Who's Lost Their Everything?." And there's plenty
more where that came from in the ranks of Save Your Servant and State Bird catalog. Who says
indie rock is dead?

Miniature American Model Society
Release Date
July 13, 2004
"Odd, shambling, quirky indie rock which veers from flanged distortion to gentle melodies. To get an
idea of the
kind of
broad, sweeping musical spectrum this record covers, it incorporates elements of
psychedelia, power pop, rock,
electornica -- and
that's literally the tip of the iceburg. I can hear
Big Star, Primal Scream, the Butthole Surfers,
Pavement...this list could
go on, but what it boils
down to is that there are only a handful of contemporary artists that
are this ambitious and
diverse. Chalk
this disc up to a hugely unexpected surprise, which is surprisingly good."

The Light Wires
Release Date
November 25, 2003
"Seasoned with pain and tales of Midwestern living, The Light Wires are led by guitarist Jeremy Pinnell
and excel at
updating Springsteen’s Nebraska. Like a side road that follows the freeway, you get to take
in all the scenery without
having to speed up. That is to say that the songs allow you to savor their taste
without wishing for louder guitars or
quicker tempos, leisurely – yet with conviction – enveloping you."

Sons of Columbus
Release Date
October 21, 2003
Columbus, Ohio's Silo The Huskie is a little bit country and a shitload of rock 'n' roll. An honest,
down-to-earth alt-country-rock blast.

Tired Anchor
Release Date
July 15, 2003
"thistle is DIY-certified indie rock. After creating their own label Tiberius Records, thistle
subsequently released several albums and EPs in an effort to solidify their energy into tangible, eyes-wide-open
rock. And they score a big goal with Tired Anchor, which is guaranteed to keep breathing fresh air into the
scene. Lyrically, this could be their best album to date and they back up with a sonic array of musicality
not seen for quite some time. I guarantee you'll love it and you`ll be coming back for more, cuz "Passion's a
real motherfucker", and thistle is chock full."

The Choir
Release Date
May 25, 2002
"Wasn't sure what to expect when I put this in the cd player. Fairly driving yet melodic post hc exploring both
dissonance and dynamic extremes in dual guitar, instrumental format. The songs here manage to be catchy and move
quickly. Ampline's use of dynamics and song arrangements make for a disc that is very listenable."

Oxygen EP
Release Date
September 25, 2001
"Once you start listening to the Oxygen EP, you're absorbed in a world of intelligent songwriting. The music is
tight, and each element seems to unwrap at just the right time. You won't notice anything special about thistle
until you really start listening; this isn't pop music. thistle creates music you can fall into, and it just
gets better with every listen."

Sea Legs
Release Date
January 1, 2000
"Six great-sounding songs from this band which plays in the emo new wave. Power pop with just enough stridency to
sound punk. Thick and juicy. The songs themselves are tightly constructed and played with controlled abandon. Did
I mention how good this sounds? Most bands would kill to have such a lustrous, full sound."

Release Date
October 15, 1999
"The guitar rock album of the year, El Gigante's emotive blast of dynamic sound is downright addicting. Angular
guitar parts, solid rhythmic reinforcement and a textural yet biting approach made the album an artistic triumph
that was also accessible, thanks to the unforgettable melodies."

Release Date
October 1997
"thistle takes the wiry irony of the dB's and R.E.M. and runs it all through the distortion of your parents'
Magnavox (after you've thrown it out the window and smashed it on the driveway). Their Tremble Kisser just about
foams at the mouth with alt-rocker angst, pissiness, and black humor."
