Pig vs KMFDM – Sin, Sex & Salvation – Review February 1, 1995 This five-cut EP reintroduces Pig (Raymond Watts) as a permanent member of KMFDM.
Dante’s Grin – Review February 1, 1995 This is disappointing, watered-down, mundane jangle pop. There’s talent here, but not in the writing.
Orange 9mm – Driver Not Included – Review February 1, 1995 They may bring up a few associations in your auditory memory, but they’ll do it with the force and wickedness of an M-1 tank.
Crumb – “Spit” – Review February 1, 1995 Punky, mainly because it sounds terrible and no one plays very well. They suck, but they’re fun.
National Razor – Shiver – Review February 1, 1995 Shiver is not half bad in the final analysis, and even at their worst, they’re still more listenable than, say, Christian Death.
Nameless – How Much Can You Take – Review February 1, 1995 Kinda Bosstones, more on the ska side. Good humor, vocals, great recording. Throw in some fun rap verses, and you got a great tape.
Craw – Lost Nation Road – Review February 1, 1995 Littered with stuttering, disjointed rhythms, noisy, dissonant guitar lines that occasionally lean towards metal, and screamed and growled vocals.
Naked Rhythm – Fatbox – Review February 1, 1995 Naked Rhythm have alternative pop radio written all over them and sound like a fun live band. Phil Varone, drummer of Saigon Kick, produced.
Charles Manson – Live at San Quentin – Review February 1, 1995 Live at San Quentin is creepy: The lone guitar in a jail cell, poorly played, a feeling of resignation mixed with rebellion pervades it.
Nailed – Review February 1, 1995 Noisy, punky garage rock on a low budget. Of the three songs, the least annoying is “Los Angeles.” It’s charmingly useless, but kinda fun.
