Release – End of the Light – Review

June 1, 1995

They have VoiVodian guitars, throaty metal-guy vocals, monks chanting, noises fading in and out, chugging, driving beats, and everything but the kitchen sink

Raw Power – Fight – Review

June 1, 1995

Walls of guitars, scorching solos, gruff Fight! vocals and one thwack of a snare drum. Great metalcore anthems like I haven’t heard in years.

Rawhead Rex – No Stranger to Pain – Review

June 1, 1995

Decent metal, tight and heavy. Big roars and badly mixed drums and solos. Probably mean as shit live.

Q-South – Review

June 1, 1995

One of those bands that sit on fences. Alternative-acoustic-pop with a Latin flavor. Like nachos with Velveeta and ground beef.

Pussy Crush – Tormenting the Emotionally Frail – Review

June 1, 1995

Once I got used to the frail production, I liked this. British punk with lots of reverb on the fuzzy guitars and duel vocal lines.

Psychopomps – Six Six Six Nights in Hell – Review

June 1, 1995

It’s a darkness of daemons and vampires, keeping to shadows and underground passages, brooding and waiting for the sign, the message, the summons…

Pressure Cookers – Contents Under Pressure – Review

June 1, 1995

Ska driven by punky guitars and quick tempos is my favorite fun music. They could be singing about public execution and my feet would still be dancing.

Pond – The Practice of Joy Before Death – Review

June 1, 1995

A deeply personal musical work which deserves to outlive its genre of fairly mainline alterna-rock.

Pamela Davis – Play To Win – Review

June 1, 1995

Play so that I’ll have to listen to this trite pop nonsense instead of reviewing struggling new bands?

My White Bread Mom – My White Bread Mom / Moody Jackson split – Review

June 1, 1995

My White Bread Mom and Moody Jackson have the early ’80s thrash sound (early Beastie Boys, FUs, etc.) that people are now boasting about having been into back in the day.
