My Little Funhouse Standunder
My Little Funhouse, a band from southeast Ireland, were originally signed by Geffen Records as the next GnR's. Alan Lawlor's thin and crisp vocals reminded me bands like The Graveyard Train and Cinderella, while brothers Brendan and Anthony Morrissey provide some tasteful guitar melodies. Not exactly a glam band but not really an alternative one either, My Little Funhouse was one of the many victims of the social shift happening in the early 90s, the moment in which a blond guy appeared with a guitar in an indoor basketball court. It is one of the bands with the potential to go big, considering that Standunder contains a handful of c		3.5

Sugartooth Sugartooth
Sugartooth's self-titled debut is an overlooked album from the 90s alternative rock scene. It blends grunge and stoner rock nicely with some sludge-driven riffs and a raw, heavy sound. The album's best tracks are found mainly in the first half with the highlights being "Sold My Fortune", "Leave My Soul to Rest", "Tuesday Morning" and "Cracks in the Pavement". Underrated? maybe, but definitely not a 'masterpiece'.r		3.0

I Mother Earth Dig
Rooted in the early 90s alternative scene, Dig is the debut album of Ontario-based rockers I Mother Earth. I found this to be is an interesting release as there is a mixture of alternative rock infused with heavy metallic riffs at times and funky basslines at others. The album's best moments are concentrated in the first half where tracks like the angst-ridden 'Levitate', the heavy 'Rain Will Fall' and the rhythmic 'Not Quite Sonic' appear. Many tracks are stretched due to extended jamming and while this may seem as a merit, in many times it becomes weary.		3.0

Satchel EDC
Satchel is a Seattle-based alternative rock band of the early 90s, formed by Shawn Smith (vocals) and Regan Hagar (drums). Satchel was a spin-off of their previous band Brad, after the latter went on a hiatus. EDC which was the band's debut album, was released in 1994 with guitarist John Hoag, bassist Cory Kane and Jefferson Bennett on saxophone. The band's love for movie Reservoir Dogs is depicted by some dialogue clips from the film, as well as song titles such as . Mr. White," "Mr. Pink," and "Mr. Brown" named after the movie's characters. This is a hidden gem of the 90s, suitable for those looking something beyond the typical gr		3.0

Pearl Jam Vitalogy
At the time of regrouping for the recording of Vitalogy, communication within the PJ camp was at an all-time low. Guitarist Mike McCready was admitted to rehab for a growing alcohol and substance addiction, while personality conflicts drummer Dave Abbruzzese took a toll and the band had to replace him with former Red Hot Chili Peppers man Jack Irons towards the end of the sessions. Vitalogy was the point in which the dynamics within the group were changing: Stone Gossard who was viewed as the band's creative force and leader was stepping back while Eddie Vedder gradually became the leader of the band. It was a slow and gradu		4.0

Helloween Giants & Monsters
Giants & Monsters is a solid follow-up release to the band's reunion album. It is a blend of traditional power metal and modern hard rock, with an excellent interplay between the three vocalists - Kiske, Deris, Hansen - who exhibit a dynamic and seamless integration. Kiske brings the power, Deris the punch and, adding to the fun, guitarist and third vocalist Kai Hansen adds a little old-school rawness here and there, sometimes with three-way vocal harmonies. From the soaring opener 'Giants On The Run' to the blockbusting single 'This Is Tokyo' and the anthemic 'A Little Is A Little Too Much', the fathers of power metal form an unlik		3.5

Spidergawd From Eight To Infinity
Spidergawd's latest release is a highly energetic and joyful album to listen to. The band's signature layered vocals, driving rhythms and stoner sounding effects along with Thin Lizzy style twin guitars maintain the quintet's distinctive character. Recommendations: "Confirmation", "One In a Million", "Revolution", "Winter Song"r		3.5
