ERIC HISAW "THE CROSSES" (SEX 0601)The Crosses is Eric's third full-length release. It's comprised of 11 originals and an excellent cover of Taj Mahal's Farther on Down the Road. The original songs are reflections on the hard-scrabble folk Eric grew up around in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Musically it ranges from the John Prine-like "Silence" to the exuberant Heat Treatment -era Graham Parker pub rock sounds of "Every Sunday" to the straight-up Buck Owens revisionism Americana of "Take Care of Yourself." The Crosses is Eric's most complete work to date and delivers on the promise he has long shown.

CHRISSY FLATT "WALK WITH KINGS" With her flair for sharp, memorable melodies (both buoyant and bittersweet) evoking the best of ‘60s rock and pop, Flatt is an “Austin singer-songwriter” who fits into that rigid mold as uncomfortably as fellow misfit Ray Davies fit in among his own peers. "Kings" fully delivers on the promise of Flatt’s exceptional 2002 debut, Wings of a Butterfly, from the winsome title track’s inventive look at love through past-life regression to snarling, politically charged rockers like “Came Back Broken” and “Sign Up Here” that more than match the defiant spirit of the Kinks cover. But not unlike many of her rock ‘n’ roll heroes, Flatt shines especially bright on the ballads; she nails the melancholic sweep of the devastating “Cold Day,” and her tender delivery of “Madman,” an unconventional take on unrequited love, is a thing of understated beauty." Richard Skanse-TEXAS MUSIC MAGAZINE $10 + S & H.
CHRISSY FLATT "WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY"“Chrissy Flatt proved she's the real deal, artistically. Perhaps more importantly in a world where so many people aren't what they seem, and where most musical "successes" are the strategically planned work of conglomerate record companies, Chrissy Flatt is real. From her compassionate views on life, all forms of it ... to the heartfelt and poignant lyrics she uses to articulate those views ...” Sam Aselstine-EL PASO TIMES $10 + S & H.
THE HICKOIDS "CORN DEMON" (SEX 0602) Reissue of the band's classic "We're In It For The Corn" and "Hard Corn" releases on one deluxe disc."From Austin, the Hickoids were one of the premier cowpunk bands of their era. Now, the bulk of their discography has been reissued and it stands pretty tall in its boots. ... these guys were simultaneously goofier and harder-toned than SoCal contemporaries like Blood on the Saddle or Tex & the Horseheads. There’s a vicious, quivering edge to the guitars that mitigates even the most resolutely cornball of their moves, and they sound so damn drunk you can smell it. Still."Byron Coley-HARP Magazine $10 + S & H
LOCO GRINGOS "LOCO GRINGOS" (SEX 0603) "Herein you get plenty of tasty, chunky riffs, chants, and songs mainly about comestibles all smeared with gobs of guitar-as-melted-cheese riding fully-rounded rock tunes. Anyone who likes stuff that wasn't on local "rock" radio but sure coulda been snuck onto a show playing the zone between Zeppelin and Fishbone would have a good time with Loco Gringos. Stir it up with a blown apart "Pretty Much Everything Got Broke" party ethic and great tunes like the first single and you really woulda enjoyed yourself. I hope every city had a couple units like this. In Columbus, Ohio, we had The Royal Crescent Mob and Pica Huss. Never heard of'm? Sure didn't have anything to do with quality.

According to their freshly printed press kit they have performed in El Dorado,Little Rock, Conway, Russellville, Toad Suck, Benton, Bryant, Memphis and Goat Hill. (And I now realize that they left out Fayetteville, because the Hickoids shared the stage there with them there one night about 20 years ago.)It also goes on to assert that they count Dr. Demento and Dr. Eugene Chadbourne among their fans, so apparently they're very well respected by the medical community in Arkansas. These boys make a racket that simultaneously shames Missing Foundation, confounds Captain Beefheart and makes mean love to Sky Saxon's last girlfriend in the room next door.And judging by the length and size of their ……published reviews, they are well liked by the journalists of Little Rock. $10 + S& H.
