Laughing Hyenas – Hard Times – Review

June 1, 1995

With Hard Times, the Hyenas have extractiedthe thrashier parts, keeping the personal angst, but expressed it in slower music with more melody.

Laika – Silver Apples of the Moon – Review

June 1, 1995

Silver Apples of the Moon is tribal psychedelia that echoes the voices of the tropical jungle and the urban jungle simultaneously.

Krug – Review

June 1, 1995

If the name’s not cool enough for you, the music is. These Canadians bash out their pissed off barrage in the tradition of field artillery and napalm.

Kate Jacobs – What About Regret – Review

June 1, 1995

I regret deeply that I spent part of my precious weekend listening to this piss-poor collecion of ultra-sappy sensitive singer-songwriter country-folk crap.

Jules Verdone – “You’re Coming Back” / “Baltimore or Less” – Review

June 1, 1995

Soothing pop. Jules – -Juliana? A connection? Maybe not. Give it time.

John Monopoly – “Dead Wrong” – Review

June 1, 1995

Hard driving funk rock with a sense of ’80s humor. Great cover of Thomas Dolby’s “She Blinded Me With Science.”

Jeff Dahl – Bliss – Review

June 1, 1995

NY glam or perhaps pre-hype LA trash rock. You’d never expect this from the Arizona desert, 1995. Raw, seedy, and balls-out honest.

Home – IX – Review

June 1, 1995

One could categorize Home from the bands they’ve toured with – Sebadoh, Yo La Tengo, and Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 – but Home stand on their own.

Helmet – Born Annoying – Review

June 1, 1995

The ten tracks span the period from 1989 to 1993. If you’re a hardcore Helmet fan, Born Annoying must become part of your collection.

Grunk – Review

June 1, 1995

Heavy, with twisted guitar. This band has promise, and enough skill to rise to the top, if they have commitment.
