Certain Distant Suns – Happy on the Inside – Review

February 1, 1995

Rich pop with poprock and danceable beats, but the sample loops and fuzzy choruses offset the INXS vocal style, giving it a distinctiveness.

Mukilteo Fairies – Special Rites – Review

February 1, 1995

Queencore hardcore punk rock from Olympia, WA. They’re very, very fast with a guitar sound as lovely as a car wreck.

I Need These Things to Kill Me – Fiction

February 1, 1995

My favorite women are the ones I used to fight with. Out loud or to myself. There weren’t many but they were strong.

Mudfoot – Review

February 1, 1995

An excellent sleeve wasted by a pompous press release. File under Blind Melon.

Bracket – Stinky Fingers – Review

February 1, 1995

These Cali-punkers cruise through three melodic, upbeat ditties. Bracket wails live, and put out some of the catchiest pop-punk out there.

Metropolitan Rage Warehouse – Stick It To The Man! – Review

February 1, 1995

Metropolitan Rage Warehouse remind us what healthy youth should be doing – questioning, fighting ignorance, and flying in the face of convention and normality.

Boys Life – Boys Life / Vitreous Humor – “Temporary” / “Why Are You So Mean To Me?” – Review

February 1, 1995

Boy’s Life sound more hardcore than punk to me: Loud and heavy guitars, lots of shouting and big drums.

Lost Breed – Save Yourself – Review

February 1, 1995

Similar to Hellhound mates, The Obsessed, Lost Breed trudges heavily along like a dinosaur through mud.

Bolt Thrower – …For Victory – Review

February 1, 1995

Crushing everything in its path like a tank plowing blindly through friend and foe, Bolt Thrower is coming.

Lords of Acid – Voodoo U – Review

February 1, 1995

There are thunderous guitars mixed in with throbbing percussion and squishing and squelchy keyboard sounds. And spicy lyrics by Lady Galore.
