Lead singer, Steve Summers does not delve Records) is a blend of country and blues. But this formula just didn't appeal into any new territory here with their new single, "Get 'Em Outta Here". . to me. The pace is way to slow. At times, I was screaming to the CD saying There is a bad Subli~e kinship here as they don't come close to Sublime's' "Wake up!" That didn't work though. Don't be mistaken, this isn't a "bad" success. The song becomes a bore after one play. To say that Sprung album in any rights, and I was trying to give TMTB every single chance, but Monkey is an up and coming ska band is an overstatement. One last thing the fartherthe CD played on, the more I wanted to yank. it out. I have Iis that should be said concerning track 5, "Hard Times" is how poorly Sprung tened to the album once from startto finish, and I have to admit, that in any Monkey tries to' rip off Korn's "Blind". Why begin a song with the same tri blues music lover's book, this might attract them as ear candy, but the tempo , .r. angle effect like Korn in the first place? It's evident that Sprung Monkey was just a step behind in the 90's! "Mean Miss Sweetie" seems best suited for can't decide for themselves what they want to be like; hmm ...should we be a TV theme song and the beginning of ~'Ain't No Justice" sounded kind oflike the next 311, and play ska, punk, reggae and rock? Or should we just go for Billy Joel. TMTB's only song that I found OK was "Southern Belle" since the full hardcore metal music like Korn? If they stick to one genre and there was a bit ofAlannah Myles "Blue ~lvet" felt in the tune. I can't give maybe Sprung Morrkey's next album will be a success rather than a dud.

The title track, "World Outside," is hauntingly refreshing in its credit for producing a rock-laden album that gives consumers the most bang approach to piano-ish rock. The group's first single, "Heaven's Wall," pays for their buck with the purchase of "Silver Tones Smile". What a fine rock homage to classic rock bands in its glowing feel. The Oasis factor is truly felt album this is! DuBois's voice takes on Hole's own Courtney Love. IfI did n't have the bio and CD in front of me, it could have been easily mistaken as Love herself. "Twist", the opening track sounds like Pavement in its quirk t - iness and distinct pop sound. "Bent On" is yet; another example that displays .... Ultrababyfat's strength in lead vocals. If Sarah McLachlan is smart, shell pick up Ultrababyfat's CD, give it a listen and place them on next year's lineup for the Lilith Fair. (Rating: 3 out of 5) I was waiting in anticipation to hear Possum Dixon's new CD "New Sheets" (Interscope Records) because ofthe immense buzz I've been hearing about this particular band. The album is already on my list oftop ten albums of1998 after listening to it several times. It's difficult to imagine that Possum Dixon is still stuck with the "other" alternative bands that can't make a name for themselves. The nine-year old band is still going strong Student Activities· & Services, with .Rob Zabrecky Teading the way.

Her appearance hints at -- her being of a mixed breed between Juliana Hatfield's face and Tracy .' , Chapman's hair. Lohan's style of music can be described as combining Celtic folk and trip-hop, but her strongest attribute is her sweet voice. It's very rare to have a voice such as Loharr's to emerge out of the Irish music scene. As a matter of fact, it has a striking resemblance to Suzanne Vega.
