May 1, 1995

The Dirt Merchants performed for and mingled with a room chock-full of supporters at T.T. the Bears.

Shreds Vo. 2: American Underground – Review

May 1, 1995

The Shreds series endeavors to be a Pebbles for the ’90s, and so far they’ve done their mentors proud.

Foetus – Null – Review

May 1, 1995

Foetus albums have always been better when they’ve had space to develop; this EP is no exception. Good as these songs are, the full-length Gash is better.

May 1, 1995

For those who liked Firehouse back in ’92, well, here’s more for you. For those who thought they sucked, this album will fulfill your every expectation.

Ecomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin – Review

May 1, 1995

There are big names on Encomium doing some stuff. The best tracks re-work the song in an interesting way or at least capture the spirit of the original.

Filter – Short Bus – Review

May 1, 1995

“Hey man, Nice shot” was on the Demon Knight soundtrack and got so much radioplay, the release date was pushed up to now.

Universal Joint – Review

May 1, 1995

Addictive female vocals and lush musical arrangements, subtle complex guitarwork supported by a muscular, throbbing bass and a wildman on drums.

Fade – I Lied – Review

May 1, 1995

Nice stoner music. Trippy guitars, rich production and mellow, swaying rhythms. Like Cure’s The Top.

Ugly Stick – Review

May 1, 1995

The Helmet/Tool clones are piling up like cop cars in the The Blues Brothers movie. Another attitude band to fill the void until Helmet and Tool return.

Eveready – Reinheitsgebot – Review

May 1, 1995

Eveready stick with the rough-throated yell choruses of “I hate you” that every pitster will be merrily screaming along with.
