Hum – You’d Prefer an Astronaut – Review

May 1, 1995

Cool fuzz drone stuff. Most of it sounds almost note for note like My Bloody Valentine with the guy singing. Some parts are quiet, others pretty ballsy.

Hector Zazou – Songs From the Cold Seas – Review

May 1, 1995

Songs From the Cold Seas is daunting, sexy, intriguing, hypnotic, and, in some places, pretty terrifying.

Hagfish – Rocks Your Lame Ass – Review

May 1, 1995

Pop punk produced by Bill Stevenson & Stephan Egerton of Descendents/ALL. You know the pop-pop… pop drum style that’s been missing from ALL? Hagfish have it.

Gitante Demone – With Love and Dementia – Review

May 1, 1995

Frumpies – Tommy Slich – Review

May 1, 1995

Unsurprisingly, the Frumpies include Bikini Kill members. Get yourself a copy and you’ll wonder how you lived without it.

Flotsam and Jetsam – Drift – Review

May 1, 1995

Solid bass plucking, crunchy guitar sound, roaring vocals and a nice piano piece at the end of one of the songs. Carlson’s vocals are a bit dated.

Chokebore – with Slughog, Cows at Local 186 – Review

May 1, 1995

This band floats somewhere between the rather similar genres of pop, punk, and noise. To their credit, they had a lot of energy.

Anal Cunt – with Forbidden at Babyhead – Review

May 1, 1995

What started out as a cruel joke actually turned out to be a cheese-grinning great show. You can’t understand a word, but who cares?

Yeah – Fiction

May 1, 1995

Yeah, she said, the only reason you moved from a notebook is that you prefer the sound the typewriter makes when you throw it against the wall.
