Weezer – Review

August 1, 1994

Singer Rivers Cuomo, gives the songs low-key humor and occasionally, full-blown personality. Unfortunately, the production doesn’t do them justice.

Toad the Wet Sprocket – Dulcinea – Review

August 1, 1994

The Fear tour gave Toad the chance to better know their way around their instruments, and bring that live feel to the album that would be Dulcinea.

The Reverend Horton Heat – Liquor in the Front – Review

August 1, 1994

This is the Rev’s second release from those vile sinners at Sub Pop and he continues his dastardly ways with such upbeat, twangy guitar songs.

The Figgs – Low-Fi at Society High – Review

August 1, 1994

The Figgs are quirky and literate and I would even go so far as to say clever. They seem to have grown up on stuff like Elvis Costello and The Clash.

The Brian Setzer Orchestra – Review

August 1, 1994

The release’s finest points are during the more fingersnapping, uptempo big band full-swing numbers when the band members all get to show off their chops.

Supersuckers – La Cornuda – Review

August 1, 1994

With cowboy hats, mirrored shades, and rock star poses, Supersuckers had the sweaty masses boppin’ and slammin’. They may be jokesters, but they do it well.

Pride & Glory – Review

August 1, 1994

Showcases Wylde’s Southern rock influences. From banjo riffs to the mandolin and harmonica, that rural sound pokes through Wylde’s trademark Les Paul crunch.

Napalm Death – Fear, Despair and Loathing – Review

August 1, 1994

Napalm Death roars and grinds intelligently against social ills and tortured lives without the trite Satanic/horror/evil topics of death metal.

King Caesar – Review

August 1, 1994

Somewhere between straight forward, fuck off rock and roll and a ’90s version of 70’s fuck off punk, there is a band called King Caesar.

Helmet – Betty – Review

August 1, 1994

You’ll identify Helmet’s distinctive sonic attack in milliseconds. Betty continues where Meantime left off and treads some new territory, but not much.
