Funky Uncle – Review

April 1, 1995

This collection of funk rock lives up to its name. Weird and energetic, this 4-song demo smokes with guitar noodling and funky break-it-downs.

For Love Not Lisa – “Good Intentions” / “Hallowed Be” – Review

April 1, 1995

Post-hardcore with a heavy groove, similar to Quicksand, but not as exciting. It’s not boring, though.

Flop – “Act I Scene I” – Review

April 1, 1995

Flop live up to their name as they release 7 inches of pure pop crap.

Extreme Noise Terror – Retrobution – Review

April 1, 1995

Brutal grindcore done with an early Discharge motif. E.N.T. shirk the Napalm Death/Cryptic Slaughter hyperspeed drumming for the Motörhead locomotive sound.

Eskimo – Der Shrimpkin – Review

April 1, 1995

Eskimo noodles on a marimba, trombone, and vibes while tossing in everything from circus music clips to nursery rhymes and their own oddball lyrics.

Engine Kid – Angel Wings – Review

April 1, 1995

Angel Wings has an abrasive melody comparable to Therapy? and later period Neurosis.

Tank Girl – Review

April 1, 1995

Tank Girl, the latest film converted from a cult comic book, remains just that, a comic. The characters are as one dimensional as their paper prototypes.

Muriel’s Wedding – Review

April 1, 1995

Muriel’s Wedding, at times tragic and moving, is elsewhere hilarious and heartwarming without ever manipulating or stooping to a predictable, mawkish level.

Dirty Looks – One Bad Leg – Review

April 1, 1995

A little more mid-tempo then I remember, but nostalgia and six years of shots could have affected that. Live versions of “Oh Ruby” and “Cool From the Wire.”

Die Warzau – Engine – Review

April 1, 1995

Die Warzau had the good sense to mix live music in with samples, giving Engine the fullness it deserves.
