“Been listening to the Swirlies so damn much that I’ve almost lost touch with what it is about them that draws me in so deeply...their dreamy slur of about a million sounds...”
SWIRLIES reviews by SCOTT RUTHERFORD, Editor

THE SWIRLIES still going at it!

Previously on Fuckin’ Record Reviews:
Okay. There’s the music + faux hot rod/kustum kulture/lifestyle zines of the early/mid 90’s we’ve heretofore ignored, for good reason. While there was some occasional decent overlap with subunderground music channels, we here at Fuckin’ Record Reviews really couldn’t take all that hot rod action seriously, so anything with hot rods (other than Kicks) was traded for back issues of The Economist. Seems we kept Speed Kills around though, cuz the music action was generally okay and Rutherford did a good job at keeping it personal and interesting.
We’ve no doubt there’s an anonymous editor at Fuckin’ Hot Rod Reviews saying the exact same thing about the hot rod + faux music zines of the 90’s.
Have a nice day.

Formal 8/2/93 Chicago Tribune review by Greg Kot, Tribune Rock Critic Bands Carve Out Own Turf At Drag City: “Royal Trux, the other Drag City band with a burgeoning national reputation...”
Good thing we no longer need bands with national reputations.
“The Wolf maintains that high level of low-ness that had America hallucinating last time around.”

GUITAR WOLF review by SCOTT RUTHERFORD, Editor
“Self-assured or self-absorbed I will never know, but Guv’ner’s e.p. has been playing in the other room over and over....but what I really want to get at is the sense of this being recorded in the kitchen, when the day’s batch of ideas and daydreams are bursting at the seams of yr skull.”
