Review by Charles Spano
Despite the terrible band and album names, Sponge's For All The Drugs In The World is a propulsive collection of contagious rock that ranges from glam to folky emo. Bowie it's not, but "Treat Me Wrong" is an instant singalong -- like Pulp and especially Spacehog, Sponge have a real knack for glammy hooks. Occasionally, like on "Leave This World," the group errs on the side of U2 circa Pop, and the peculiarly religious folk number "Burn" is more Goo Goo Dolls than Hunky DoryRead More

Named after its bandleader, Danko Jones is a Canadian hard rock trio whose bluesy style is rooted in the tradition of Thin Lizzy and AC/DC and whose popularity in Western Europe compensates for their lack of recognition in the neighboring United States. Comprised of band namesake Danko Jones (vocals/guitar), John Calabrese (aka JC; bass guitar), and Dan Cornelius (drums), the band was founded in Toronto, Canada, in 1996 and made its recording debut in 1998 with a five-track self-titled EP on Sonic Unyon. A follow-up EP on Sound King Records, My Love Is Bold (1999), garnered airplay on Canadian hard rock radio, setting the stage for I'm Alive and on Fire
