God Lives Underwater – Review

March 1, 1995

The digitized guitar sound plays catchy rhythms and the drumming blends both organic and electronic percussion into a pleasant hybrid.

Circle of Dust – Review

March 1, 1995

Besides the techno percussion, heavy guitars and distorted ravings, Circle of Dust manages to work sweetly tortured vocals and catchy melodies into the mix.

Car – “Knows When” / “No Damage” – Review

March 1, 1995

Side one drones on and on. If that’s the single, it’s not a sleeper, it’s asleep.

Gapeseed – Lo Cell – Review

March 1, 1995

Some of the stuff is downright grating. But underlying each scratchy, Sonic Youth-influenced anthem pulses the life-force and emotion of the three musicians.

Canine Guru – Review

March 1, 1995

An emphasis on heavy, Chili Peppers funk. I get the feeling that Canine Guru will go somewhere big, providing they establish a hook to get themselves noticed.

Buccinator – The Great Painter Raphael – Review

March 1, 1995

Sound bites are chopped ‘n’ blended with screwy geetars ‘n’ the usual rock gear, plus some shortwave radio and Moog action.

Flowerhead – The People’s Fuzz – Review

March 1, 1995

After …ka-BLOOM!, the band toured the country, opening for such acts as Blind Melon and Ned’s Atomic Dustbin. This record shows a serious growth.

Blightobody – “Party Snout” / “The Moon Floats Overhead” – Review

March 1, 1995

They combine guitar rock, pop sensibility, country twang, spaghetti western solos, and heavy, chugging guitars into humorous, well-produced songs.

Fleshold – Pathetic – Review

March 1, 1995

Seemingly normal heavy wall-of-guitars metal with snarling vocals and “society sucks” lyrics, Fleshold morph from one style to the next.

Erik Welsh – Review

March 1, 1995

I would insult the shit out of this saying it sounds like a cheesy commercial, but I see that’s what Erik Welsh produces.
