Xanax 25 – “80’s Kid” – Review

February 1, 1995

This reeks of label money. Wild graphics and over-production couldn’t save this turd.

Widowmaker – Stand by for Pain – Review

February 1, 1995

If you still haven’t gotten enough of that mid-’80s metal sound, pick this one up, ’cause guys like Dee Snider aren’t gonna let it die.

Slush – at The Rat – Review

February 1, 1995

Slush shoveled out chunky powergroove, brimming with howls, screams, feedback, and not a solo in sight. Singer Jeff Howlett is a showman worth checking out,

February 1, 1995

After hearing the song, “Bunk,” on at Music For Fat People, I became an instant fan. They rock in total punk style and leave you wanting more.

Skrew – with Overdose, The Spudmonsters at the Rat – Review

February 1, 1995

The sound plodde like a dinosaur ,and no one moved except keyboardist. When the keyboardist moves more that anyone else, what’s that say about the band?

In keeping up with their bluesy rock ‘n’ roll style, Warrant has added a bit of crunch to some of their tunes.

February 1, 1995

A classic rock approach to indie-ness. When the fuzzy guitar kicks in, it really kicks in.

Veruca Salt – American Thighs – Review

February 1, 1995

Combines Kim Deal’s sarcastic girl-sneer vocal, Lush’s rich female harmonies, Smashing Pumpkins’ slow, psychedelic groove, and a bunch of riffy pop tunes.
