February 1, 1995

If Veruca Salt is getting a bit too mainstream for you, then take a step back and lend an ear to Elastica.

Sickening Gore – Destructive Reality – Review

February 1, 1995

Destructive Reality is powerfully produced and comes across as a dark meeting of Cannibal Corpse and Slayer.

February 1, 1995

While not nearly as slick as Pulp Fiction, it’s just as packed with raw violence tempered with sweet, mundane dialogue and incongruous hilarity.

Radiohead – My Iron Lung – Review

Hitting styles from the hard pop of “Creep” to more jangly guitar rockers, Radiohead show they have more for us to feast on.

Dogtooth – “Black” – Review

February 1, 1995

Well-produced, “Black” stays honest and gritty. Luckily, the lyrics are printed on the back. Somebody is a really good writer.

Quicksand – Manic Compression – Review

Back with an intense edge, this follows in the blazing footsteps of their previous killer, Slip.

Dog Faced Hermans – Those Deep Buds – Review

February 1, 1995

Alternative Tentacles is getting stateside recognition for yet another worthwhile band from overseas. Dog Faced Hermans add new dimensions to punk rock.

February 1, 1995

A tribute to Montreal’s Nils has Potbelly droning and screeching feedback & The Stand GT ripping thru a melodious, poppy version of a song I thought I’d hate.

Dirty Rotten Imbeciles – D.R.I. Live – Review

February 1, 1995

D.R.I. Live, recorded entirely live and unedited, captures the raw power of D.R.I. live at the Hollywood Palladium in November of ’92.

Lettuce – Fiction

February 1, 1995

Too much joy leaves an aching in my heart, An icepick in my heart, And a piece of lettuce between my teeth.
