Minxus – Pabulum – Review

May 1, 1995

They create well-crafted songs with changes and flourishes. hey feel… like warm sandpaper (fine grain) when you take off your shoes on a summer’s day.

Meristem – “504” / “Reverend” – Review

May 1, 1995

Side one is rock. Pure and Simple. “Reverend” is good, solid indie rock from Western MA. Competent, but not ground-breaking.

Menthol – Review

May 1, 1995

Simple, grooving melodies with witty, sexy lyrics, occasionally reminiscent of Bowie-isms of the Stardust era.

Medicine – “Off The Vine” – Review

May 1, 1995

Almost worth it for the packaging, but not quite. The music is plodding, distant, and underwater-sounding. Try as I might, I just couldn’t really get into it.

Mad Season – Above – Review

May 1, 1995

With Layne Staley’s (Alice in Chains) smooth vocals and Mike McCready’s (Pearl Jam) wailing Les Paul, could they go wrong?

Madder Rose – The Love You Save – Review

May 1, 1995

Madder Rose rocked on last year’s Panic On. The title track, a classic Jackson 5 tune, is terribly put to shame, and from there, it only gets worse.

Luau – Review

May 1, 1995

Girl punk that I’ve been meaning to see for a while. If you think only Cali-core can have balls, think again.

Love Pollution – Review

May 1, 1995

Solid classic rock ‘n’ roll from Boston’s rock champs. Great piano and slide guitar work. No real screamers or quick tempoed glam, just rich, timeless music.

Kix – Show Business – Review

May 1, 1995

15 years and still kickin’ it out. They haven’t changed a bit. They still play AC/DCish, laced with rockisms galore. Some great lyrics in there.

Jose Fist – Dry Drive – Review

May 1, 1995

I had heard good things about this band, but all that went out the door after listening to ten seconds of the first song. What a piece of shit.
