Cardboard and Chords – Review

November 1, 1994

Each 7″ in the series came in honest cardboard with pretty-colored lettering screen-printed on it. The colors coordinated with the clear vinyl on the inside.

Tiamat – Wildhoney – Review

November 1, 1994

A slow and brooding mass of sound that has the beauty and overwhelming power of ocean waves. Furthermore, it has the lulling potential of an undertow.

The Nines – “Crawl In A Hole” – Review

November 1, 1994

Strong guitar-based pop tunes from this Newtonville number, these guys know how to deliver a song.

The Goats – No Goats, No Glory – Review

November 1, 1994

Once again, Hip-Hop, THC, and white guys with guitars join forces to fight racism and political injustice.

Swirl – “Strangelands” – Review

November 1, 1994

Big, fuzzy guitars (and more guitars and more guitars) with classic Boston-esque noisy power-pop rhythms.

Spinning Jenny – Review

November 1, 1994

A lighter Letters, this Cleo-clone spins out of control with it’s too-vocal mix, and naive approach.

Spdfgh – “Nighttime” – Review

November 1, 1994

Four teenage girls with cutesy voices, pop sensibility, and a guitar sound so furry it would give you a shock of static electricity if you could touch it.

Slayer – Divine Intervention – Review

November 1, 1994

Araya’s voice and bass have never sounded so harsh. Same goes for King and Hanneman; their skills seem to progress while they gleefully torment the masses.

Screeching Weasel – How To Make Enemies… – Review

November 1, 1994

How To Make Enemies is typical S.W. Ben sounds older, the band’s a little too tight, and the tempo’s slower. It’s this slowness that bugs me.

Saturnine 60 – Autoglider – Review

November 1, 1994

Mournful acoustic and laid back, noisy guitars are the rule until the last song, “Half-Truths,” which is fun, goofy, and lightens the mood at the last moment.
