Genitorturers – at Local 186 – Review

June 1, 1994

“I want to hear you beg!” roared the intro tape as the band began their crunching, mean, and snarling backdrop to the antics of Gen and her Genitorturers.

Dumpster Juice – Get That Out of Your Mouth – Review

June 1, 1994

Taking a nice little band like Napalm Death and mutate with Scatterbrain (and put Pro Pain’s vocalist up front) and there you have it. Call it weirdcore.

Dandelion – I Think I’m Going To Be Sick – Review

June 1, 1994

Sex Tattoos & Rock ‘n’ Roll – Review

June 1, 1994

Bad asses like Entombed, Fear Factory, Fudge Tunnel, and the gods of Sepultura can all be found grinning, growling, and sportin’ their stylin’ tattoos.

An interview with drummer Zach Courtney and singer Erich Thaler
