Smooth Bamboo – Review

September 1, 1994

Good vocals, weak lyrics. Put away the Human Sexual Response and U2 records and give the gig money to your guitarist. He deserves it.

Smackmelon – Review

September 1, 1994

The sometimes biting sarcasm is carefully laced between the folds of the ringing guitars, and will sneak-smack you right upside the head.

Seed – ling – Review

September 1, 1994

The mixture of vocal styles, one rich and mellow and the other forceful and demanding, work magically together.

Resin Sect – Review

September 1, 1994

Good J-card, good production ideas, but overblown tunes. Much better than many local metal bands, but trim the mystical fat.

Orbit – “Motorama” – Review

September 1, 1994

These guys debut with a shameless home eight track of catchy noise-pop tunes bearing an uncanny similarity to the Pixies early singles.

M.O.D. – Devolution – Review

September 1, 1994

A few politically-oriented songs, “Land of the Free” and “Unhuman Race,” and also “Rock Tonite,” a party mosh frenzy of inane and repetitive lyrics.

Machine Head – Burn My Eyes – Review

September 1, 1994

Machine Head writes lyrics that confront harsh topics in intelligent and constructively angry ways. They stomp at a steamroller’s pace and fly at hyperspeed.
