Includes liner notes by Candice Pedersen. KILL ROCK STARS contains songs by bands who either hail from Olympia, Washington or who played at the Olympia Pop Festival in August, 1991. Performers include Nirvana, Melvins, Nation Of Ulysses, and Jad Fair. Photographers: Hannah Sternshein; Arthur S. Aubry; John Leach.

Kill Rock Stars is an excellent 18-track various-artists collection capturing the essence of early-'90s indie-rock pop underground. It's divided equally between amateurish indie-pop, abrasive punk and riot grrrl, featuring many of the best underground bands of that time, including Bratmobile ("Girl Germs"), Mecca Normal ("Narrow"), Bikini Kill ("Feels Blind"), Heavens to Betsy ("My Red Self"), Unwound ("You Speak Jealousy"), Nation of Ulysses ("N.O.U. Cooking with Gas"), Some Velvet Sidewalk ("Loch Ness"), Nirvana ("Beeswax"), and Lois performing under the name Courtney Love ("Don't Mix the Colors"). ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Option (Nov.-Dec./92, p.123) - "...a top-notch collection...perfectly representative of a sound that can trace its collective roots back to Jad Fair and Half Japanese..." Mojo (Publisher) (7/02, p.126) - "...These are the songs and singers who helped shape the feminist leanings of Kurt Cobain..." NME (Magazine) (4/23/93, p.31) - (8) - Excellent - "...There is more going down on KILL ROCK STARS than the accepted `let's-make-a-record' mentality....[it's] an exciting force that's almost worth dying for.

Audio Mixer: Stefan Glaumann. Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully ...

$13.95 The Ataris: Kristopher Roe (vocals, guitar, percussion, Theremin); John Collura (guitar, piano); Angus Cooke (cello, electric cello, percussion); Sean Hansen (bass instrument); Shane Chickeles (drums, percussion); Paul Carabello, Bob Hoag. Personnel: Paul Carabello (vocals, guitar, percussion); Bob Hoag (vocals, piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Mellotron, keyboards, percussion); Sean Hansen (vocals, drums, percussion); John Collura (guitar, piano); Shane Chikeles (drums, percussion). Audio Mixer: Paul David Hager. Recording information: Ameraycan Studio; Flying Blanket Recording, Mesa, AZ; Orange Whip Recording; Paramount Studio; Valleys Of Los Angeles. After issuing SO LONG, ASTORIA, the Ataris' 2003 major label debut on Columbia, the band toured extensively, worked on new material, left Columbia, and started their own label. That label's first release (in conjunction with Sanctuary) is 2007's WELCOME THE NIGHT. Unlike the band's earlier pop-punk blasts, WELCOME THE NIGHT is steeped in atmospheric guitar washes and post-punk textures. Lead singer and songwriter Kris Roe is still the focus of the band, but his melodies, lyrics, and arrangements have taken on a moody cast, and the change is a welcome one. The Ataris have clearly been mixing some Joy Division in with their Blink 182 CDs. But Roe hasn't lost his knack for insistent hooks and anthemic choruses (note "The Cheyenne Line"), so longtime fans will still have plenty to appreciate. The Ataris couldn't have picked a more appropriate title for their fifth record, Welcome the Night: ...
