Tom Verlaine – Dreamtime – Review

March 1, 1995

Dreamtime may be Verlaine’s most straightforward “rock” album, but, that said, it’s still a far cry from leather-clad-leg-on-the-monitor bombast.

The Halo Bit – Gravity (Is the Force That Always Drags You Down) – Review

March 1, 1995

Noisy pop with thoughtful lyrics and rich, indie production.

22 Brides at T.T. the Bear’s – Review

March 1, 1995

If I had heard on their CD some hint of the edge that this band has on stage, I would have liked the disc better.

March 1, 1995

Putting progressive, psychedelic, and hard rock influences in their stew, The Cult come out with balls and intelligence.

Graffic Traffic – Column

Weathering the storm and still strong are Love & Rockets, Naughty Bits, Hate, Usagi Yojimbo, Cerebus; all knew quality speaks for itself and never compromised.

The 6ths – Wasp’s Nests – Review

March 1, 1995

Every song is pure, hummable pop music with basic structures and a staying power that etches permanent grooves into your memory.

Swank – “Superfly” – Review

March 1, 1995

Malachite reforms (again) playing new roles and carrying a new banner: Swank. It’s slow, mean, heavy and pissed off.
