• Sunday Morning Playlist: Grunge

  The emergence of grunge at the start of the 1990's was the culmination of a decade plus of indie music, and also was a major revitalization of rock as a viable commercial proposition. Simply put, grunge represents what in the 70's was unthinkable; a merging of heavy metal and punk.

• The Weekly Music Magazine CD Sampler Review

  Magnet is a US bi-monthly magazine that goes out of its way to cover up and coming alt bands that are percolating below the mainstream. It has a lot of credibility with me. Now in its 65th issue and 37th sampler CD, Magnet's CDs cover fewer known artists than CMJ New Music Monthly, save for regional success stories.
