Jasper and the Prodigal Suns – People Get Ready – Review

May 1, 1995

In actuality, the album sounds like G. Love and Special Sauce with a steel drum recorded in a Wheaties box.

Jason & The Scorchers – A Blazing Grace – Review

May 1, 1995

Roadhouse rock is not exactly my favorite, but with these moonshine-running, petal-to-the-metal rockers, I can overlook the whiskey-soaked ballads.

INBLU – Sleep Well Patrons of the Arts – Review

May 1, 1995

An interesting blend of ambient art rock and slick pop craft. The hooks are subtle, but long-lasting. The production is fantastic.

Hi Fi and the Roadburners – Fear City – Review

May 1, 1995

A hard, upbeat shuffle takes control of the sound, and turns it into a driving riff backed by guitar and bass. The blues holler with brick and glass throats.

Hagfish – Review

May 1, 1995

Hagfish are actually pretty solid pop punk, like a heavier ALL. Nothin’ to write home about though.

Green Apple Quick Step – Reloaded – Review

May 1, 1995

I like Green Apple Quick Step when they play noisy, shitty, simple punk tunes. I hate Green Apple Quick Step when they play introspective acoustic ballads.

Goober and the Peas – The Jet-Age Genius of… – Review

May 1, 1995

Goober and the Peas have a great thing going, mixing hillbilly demeanor with skewed rock ‘n’ roll, and strange lyrics.

Godheadsilo – Elephantitus of the Night – Review

May 1, 1995

The recording is lo-fi as all hell, and Godheadsilo play with a plodding, focused aggression that is similar to the Melvins, though not nearly as coherent.

The Rake’s Progress – at The Loud Music Festival – Review

May 1, 1995

The five piece, roots-oriented band was a refreshing surprise that most people missed. The New York-based band delivered a solid R.E.M.-like set.

Pirate Jenny – at The Loud Music Festival – Review

May 1, 1995

The North Star was relatively quiet as the Northampton based Pirate Jenny entertained a crowd of twenty fans.
