Sinkhole – Space Freak – Review

April 1, 1995

Sneering vocals, chugging guitars with simple, catchy lines that are too raw to be sweet, and drumming that sounds like there’s an octopus behind the kit.

Señor Happy – Review

April 1, 1995

Power pop songs with big guitar sound. Much of it is standard Bostonian fare, but it’s got zesty pop rhythms that make it distinctive.

Season To Risk – In A Perfect World – Review

April 1, 1995

Reviewers have called them everything from punk rock to grunge to noise to whatever Rollins is supposed to be, and they’re dead wrong.

Rootlock – Sunday 1639 – Review

April 1, 1995

Chris Mascara seems to be notorious for maniacal guitar and weird production sounds. This is demented experimental noise, cerebral and indescribable.

Reign – Embrace – Review

April 1, 1995

Formed from the ashes of doom metal band Vox Populi, it’s not much of a surprise that Reign is as tight as a virgin and as heavily-plodding as Big Foot.

Red Aunts – #1 Chicken – Review

April 1, 1995

With 14 songs in 23 minutes, it’s pointless to do a song by song, and the distort-o-rama kinda runs together into one glorious ass-ripping grrr blur anyway.

The Queers – Surf Goddess – Review

April 1, 1995

The Queers effectively marry the Beach Boys to the Ramones, and they rule.

Radiopuhelimet – Hygiene – Review

April 1, 1995

Radiopuhelimet are from Finland, and would be a good introduction for people interested in foreign hardcore.

Silver Jews – 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.

Pyogenesis – Sweet X-Rated Nothings – Review

April 1, 1995

If you combine the sensuality of Type O Negative with the roaring bloodlust of Swedish death metal, you might have a foothold on understanding Pyogenesis.
