Black Rose Garden – at the Kirkland Cafe – Review

June 1, 1995

Energetic, powerful, and sexy, this is a vocalist to keep a couple of eyes on. Generally guitar-driven pop rock, but the diversity keeps them exciting.

D.O.P.E. – Resination – Review

June 1, 1995

Kinda funky, kinda trippy, kinda stoner hard rock. It’s just kinda. Albini couldn’t save it. The cool artwork couldn’t save it.

Descent – Review

June 1, 1995

More fun with a four track. Irish Goth folk, but they should have spent more money in the studio. But they’re still pleasantly mysterious.

Idle Chatter – Column

June 1, 1995

An open audition for people to whoop, whistle, snort and pant for the laugh tracks of upcoming sitcoms, none of which have been produced or even conceived yet.

Delta Clutch – Wooden Nickels – Review

June 1, 1995

What shines out on this one is “Drop of Water,” a swamp rock fuzzy-voiced bit of LSD-soaked country twiddlings. I’d buy an entire CD of songs like that.

Graffic Traffic – Column

June 1, 1995

Hilariously and often poignantly lived through is Bitchy Bitch, an every-woman trying to live in a man’s world and survive doing it. Consistently a great book.

The Culture Bunker – Goes To New York Part III: The Inciting Contusion – Fiction

June 1, 1995

I could tell we were getting nearer Fox’s fortress by the growing sound of jungle drum machines in the distance. That and the heads strewn around the corridor.

Decoryah – Wisdom Floats – Review

June 1, 1995

Tragedy and beauty lurk in this badly-mixed masterpiece. Gorgeous arrangements of whispered vocals/rich choirs of angels and anguished guitar.

Day-Glo Abortions – Little Man in the Canoe – Review

June 1, 1995

These Canucks were always the quintessential skate-punk band for me and my friends in the ’80s. It’s hard to believe they’re still doing the same thing.

Peace in the Pit Is Bullshit – Rant

June 1, 1995

Boston shouldn’t have or get a bad reputation for excessive violence, because it’s just not the case. It’s not that bad.
