February 1, 1995

Hailing from CT, The Gravel Pit have all the components of a straight-forward rock band, with the added use of keyboards.

Atomic Cafe – Live Demonic demos – Review

February 1, 1995

Hectic, tight, crunchy, demonic psychedelia. Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes comes to mind. Sounds like they were recorded from low earth orbit, but it works.

I’ll be here til the supernova. When I burn-out, I’ll submit love poetry about flowers and shit to the wanker lit. journals from my lean-to in the mountains.

23 Skidoo – Review

February 1, 1995

Great recording, nice guitar sound, but over-emotive vocals, without the experience to back it up. Tunes are kinda weak pop stuff.
