Vietnam
The band Vietnam is the bad boys from Brooklyn, N.Y., who play the kind of rock suggested by the unholy ternary of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. They play melodramatic, blues-like glam rock with oddly enunciated vocals and mellow guitar strums. (12/06/2006)
Rocky Votolato
Seattle-based singer/songwriter Rocky Votolato used to play in a punk band, but you'd never guess it from his spare, folky solo style. (10/01/2006)
