Pretty Mighty Mighty – Ugly – Review

April 1, 1995

Well-crafted indie pop that uses soothing harmonies, swaying grooves as well as choppy timing and bursts of discordant guitars. Ethereal and abrasive.

Po’ Boy Swing – Lite and Sweet – Review

April 1, 1995

Po’ Boy Swing are graduates of the same musical school as Faith No More, Scatterbrain, Sweaty Nipples, The Beasties, and others of the funk/rap/metal genre.

Pet UFO – Pigasus – Review

April 1, 1995

“On Liberty” is a great garage punk song. Souci snarls like Bianca Butthole and cries like the tear-jerking pop artists-of-the-year wish they could.

Our Lady Peace – Naveed – Review

April 1, 1995

An ambitious young band. Tackling questions of the human spirit and the dark seduction of losing yourself in the crowd, Raine Maida’s voice strips bare.

Otis – Review

April 1, 1995

Otis trudges and roars like angst-ridden young men should. Groove and 10-ton hooks to move yer ass.

New Radiant Storm King – Silver Jews / New Radiant Storm King – Review

April 1, 1995

“The Sabellion Rebellion” is a charming, minimalist slacker tune, and “Old New York,” is spoken/sung poetry set to a lounge music background.

Messiah – Underground – Review

April 1, 1995

This Swiss quartet produce the perfect distillation of heavy metal and thrash to cut your way through Hell to.

Means To An End – Review

April 1, 1995

The vocals are passionate and rich, the guitars are pleasantly noisy pop, and the strolling bass and intricate drumming provide a sound foundation.

McRackins – What Came First? – Review

April 1, 1995

While this Canadian trio has only been touring since ’94 (in their chicken and egg costumes), their debut 15-song CD is a solid collection of punk ditties.

Mary Lou Lord – Review

April 1, 1995

Her voice is so sweet, it transports you from your crappy life. Funny thing is, that’s exactly what she’s singing about. Simply beautiful.
