Here is the 1993 self titled debut of the Seattle indie rock band Partner. Killer female fronted indie rock that sounds a lot like the bands Saraya, Vixen, Witness etc. Great vocals from Dana Anton. They do a sweet cover of “Radar Love”, the Golden Earring mega-hit.
Here is an awesome cd from Jaime Levi (actually Jaime Adoff, Levi is his middle name). Jaime released this in 1994 on his own label, "Blueish Music". Jaime is the son of famous writers Virginia Hamilton (R.I.P.) and Arnold Adoff. Jaime went on to release at least 2 other cds, possibly more. This cd is surprisingly good (in my opinion), Jaime is a real talent, probably inheriting some skills from his folks.
Here is a great tape from The Boyys. This was released in 1988 on Woodmont Records. It features 11 great tunes, and features a guest spot from David Lanz. This was only released on cassette, and is impossible to find. I don`t know much about "The Boyys", but I do know that lead vocalist Jon Dalgarn now runs a program based in Bellingham, Washington called "Out Of The Ashes". The program teaches all types of people to play music, giving handicapped people a chance to play music. If you know anything about this tape, or band please leave me a comment!
Here is a great TAPE ONLY release from Alaskan band "XQ`S". It was released in 1985 on Mostly Joe Music, and features 7 cool tunes. I don`t have much info on the band, so if you do, please leave me a comment. Any information would be appreciated!
This is a great rock cd outta Seattle, WA. Not exactly grunge, but they do remind me a lot of Soundgarden. They sounded much like other bands of the region and time. That isn`t a bad thing either! This is a solid cd from 1994, check it out!
This Lacey, WA band consisted of Jim Johnston and Michael "Smitty" Smith. I believe this is the same Jim Johnston that played with the late 70`s band "Jaugernaut", but I am not positive. Michael Smith has played with numerous South Sound bands, and currently plays with "Hurts Like Hell", a killer blues band.
Here is an awesome cd from Seattle`s "Lost Image", they were lesser known but were a GREAT band! Don`t sleep on this one! These guys were killer!
A great cd from the Wenatchee, Washington band "1000 Shades Of Gray". Killer AOR rock, released in 1995.
Here is an awesome TAPE ONLY release from "Plastik Monday". They released this in 1995, independently. The tape features 2 killer tracks!
Released on July 4th, 1999, this was their debut, as far as I know they never followed it up. This cd showed a lot of promise for these guys, but I`m not sure what happened to them. Storm Coming features 12 rockin` songs, and some cool artwork. I believe it was released in limited number, so it is pretty tough to find, especially outside of the N.W.
This is a great cd from Bellingham, Washington. Killer christian rock, with an AOR sound, bordering on heavy metal.
Here is a killer cd from an indie band called "Bad Dawgs". I don`t have any information on this band, other than they are from Seaside, California and they rock! Cool artwork and badass music! I believe this was released in the early 2000`s.
October Sun is a cool psych / acoustic band from Seattle, Washington. This cd was released in 2000 on Wave Records. The band was fronted by Seattle musician Rob Bramblett.
Here is a brilliant release from "The Burms", a great Christian rock band from Seattle, Washington. Even non-Christians will enjoy this one. A must have for any rock collector.
