RECORD REVIEW

ULIANA HATFIELD

hits the charts with a

song about hating and
loving her sister; The Smug-
glers come in from the fjord.

The Juliana Hatfield Three —
Become What You Are, Atlan-
tic/Mammoth Ventures Jnc. 1993.

Juliana Hatfield, she of remoie
voice and fuzzy guitar, is joined by
fellow Bostonians Dean Fisher on
bass and Todd Philips on drums
for a low-key grunge-grounded set
‘of 12 tracks.

Alternative Hepville’s tune of the’
month — My Sister — has young
Juliana ransacking her past to slag
and miss her sister in a nifty bit of
sibling thrashing.

The CD title alludes to the
theme of the lyrical agenda carried
throughout. Look beyond the gloss
and Become What You Are stands
as a hummable string of strong and
uncompromising statements ad-
dressing the politics of gender.

The Juliana Hatfield Three ap-
pear at the Town Pump on Satur-
day, Sept. 18, for an early show
at 8:30 p.m.

The Smugglers — in The Hall Of
Fame, PopLlama Products 1993.

So there | was, scanning the ti-
tles at Tower Records in Seattle. |
was absorbing the local releases,
and there it was, in all of its cheesy
goodness, a glorious Canadian
triumph of sound, the Howe
Sound sound displacing grunge
tock disc rack space — In The Hall
Of Fame, right there in the urban
heart of the pop culture beast.

The West Van lads’ leap from
vinyl to digital format is a lucky
break for garage rock bangers

hankering for a rich hit of Smug-
glers swag.

Sometimes smudgy, always
spirited, thoroughly campy and
cantankerous, The Canadian
Puritans of Rock ‘N’ Roll careen
through 20 breathtaking songs.

Listen to Your Mom’s The Devil,
Alan Thicke, Calgarians Don’t
Dance and Vancouver, BC and try
not to grin.
