Hazel – Toreador of Love – Review

December 1, 1993

The slower, bare-bones material is much like early grunge, but the catchy uptempo punk/pop ditties get back to the garage and stomp around.

Letters To Cleo – Aurora Gory Alice – Review

December 1, 1993

It remains comfortable, accessible. Kay Hanley’s vocals travel from innocent, child-like tenderness to raw rage and back again without missing a beat.

Lick – An Inflatable Love Doll of Death – Review

December 1, 1993

Fun with a four track and time to kill. This demo reminds me of M.I.T. rebellious creativity and experimentalism and a love for ugly, fuzzy sounds.

Hash – Review

December 1, 1993

Hash produce a rock ‘n’ roll stew with plenty of diverse ingredients. Their style is animate. Their message is not exactly deep, but positive, none the less.

Entombed – Wolverine Blues – Review

December 1, 1993

An album pulsating with spine-splintering songs and a guillotine-like sharpness in sound. These guys have infused a rock ‘n’ roll feel with their deathy sound.

Deadworld – The Machine – Review

December 1, 1993

Doom that plods along at a triceratops’ pace. Heavy synth beats slam down. On top is the metallic guitar and hyper-distorted vocals.

Chemlab – Burn Out at the Hydrogen Bar – Review

December 1, 1993

Their music is caustic, throbbing, with warped melodies. A fusion of guitars, synths, electronic drums, bizarre sound effects and unsettling sound bytes.

Chainsaw Kittens – Pop Heiress – Review

December 1, 1993

Tyson Meade’s penchant for gowns and glam has now shifted to a tighter grip on insightful lyrics and hurricane hard pop.

Candy Striper Death Orgy – Review

December 1, 1993

A few death roars and fun deathly gimmicks, but mostly they have the monster mosh madness of Kreator, Hallow’s Eve, Possessed, and the humor of S.O.D.

You Can Save the Animals – 50 Things to Do Right Now – Review

December 1, 1993

Three dozen rabbits sit in a cage with burning eyes and burning skin as a result of a test that is performed to determine the irritation level of new products.
