While the joint performance of all three of the band members is mostly mid-tempo and fast, the episodes that were played only by Ed are for the most part slow and mellow (of course, there also are the overdubs of his own solos in these episodes).
Their music is described by the band's website as "folk, hypnotic, improvisation, progressive, psykedelia, space rock, herbs, spiritual, trance." Loaded words to be sure, but their music is equally loaded with texture and color that leaves most space rock groups sounding more like a sample machine stuck in loop mode.
The band apparently have a sinful past as a trash metal outfit, but by Salt of the Earth (Mellow Records MMP 378) they had repented thoroughly and could be forgiven their trespasses.

 L7 - Band Bio & Discography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
L7 is a banjo and kazoo band perhaps best known for their lilting polka-folk-bluegrass covers of '50s and '60s television theme songs.
Actually, L7 is an in-your-face grunge and punk and metal influenced band which effectively blends good melodies with brain-crunching power chords and humor-tinged lyrics that pack plenty of attitude.
Dee (ex-Problem Dogs) fit in well with the band (she arrived at her audition in a gigantic 1976 Ford station wagon), and the fortunes of L7 would steadily rise soon therafter.

These bands celebrate rock ’n’ roll’s classic traits — blazing guitars at once self-affirming and defiant, themes both questioning and comforting, and musicians who follow their hearts rather than compromising for sales.
Because so much of the new music echoes qualities of ’60s and ’70s rock, the term “retro rock” is frequently applied, which is fine unless it is interpreted as simply nostalgia.

This is kind of a schizophrenic affair; the first five tunes are Beach Boys originals with their trademark 60s sound, including "Little Saint Nick," then the rest of the album is pop Christmas standards with arrangements straight out of the Four Freshmen songbook and backed by a 40-piece orchestra (cocktail alert!).

The Pogues are one of the few all time great bands that cannot be defined through a mere best of set, from Miles Davis to the Beatles to the modern day Nirvana.
The band recieved raves from, and were even produced by such legends as Elvis Costello and Joe Strummer, frontman of the Clash (perhaps the only band to stretch punk further then the Pogues did).
As with Fairport Convention in the `60s, the Pogues deserve much credits for opening peoples ears to Irish folk/celtic music through their irreverent, high-energy, decidedly non-traditional approach.

So even though the Chicago-based Smashing Pumpkins put on a show at English Acid on Wednesday that might have been a smash at the Fillmore 22 years ago, the band isn't quite another rehashed power-pop band.
The Pumpkins are something else: a great '60s band that just happens to exist in the '90s instead, politically correct, and as informed by Nirvana as by Blue Cheer and the Cream.
Very serene, these guys, no hair-flipping, no posing, no playing to the pit, just setting up a droning, modal groove and jamming--or what sounds like jamming: The show was basically a note-perfect rendition of the Pumpkins' brilliant debut "Gish"--then gazing like Buddhas into the frenzied slam-pit that they'd created.
