Luna – Penthouse – Review

July 1, 1995

Luna is the brainchild of former Galaxie 500 frontman Dean Wareham. Most of the songs continue in Luna’s established vein of Velvet Undergroundy pop.

Lint – “Too Few” – Review

July 1, 1995

Only one side, wrapped in pink cellophane. The other side was glued to a Tony Bennett 7″. “Too Few” sounds like a mellow Hole song.

Julian Schnabel – Every Silver Lining Has A Cloud – Review

July 1, 1995

Bill Laswell, Anton Fier, Nicky Skopelitis, Buckethead, Bernie Worrell, Henry Threadgill. Now, they’re all on the same album.

The Smoothies – The Smoothies and International Hoodwink- Play Their Respective Hits – Review

July 1, 1995

The Smoothies are exactly that. Crammed with loud bass and lots of drums, the female vocals tell a story I could listen to again and again.

Impact Unit – Boston Hardcore – Review

July 1, 1995

Another battle lost on the killing grounds of the harder-than-you’ll-ever-be scene.

Ignite – Call On My Brothers – Review

July 1, 1995

Classic Orange County hardcore that has a little bit of DC spice that makes it great for the taste buds. Bring it back from the early ’80s.

Hullabaloo – Torn – Review

July 1, 1995

More indie pop, with some tasty guitar thrown in. If the Go-Go’s were still around, and had an entirely different line up, they’d be Hullabaloo.

Hissanol – 4th and Black – Review

July 1, 1995

Hissanol is Andy Kerr (iving in Amsterdam) from NoMeansNo and Scott Henderson (living in Canada) from Shovlhed. They sent 4 and 8 track tapes back and forth.

Haystak Kalhoon – Sped of Cheese – Review

July 1, 1995

Tepid college rock with no catch. The lead singer sounds goofy, but I’m not sure he means to. A valiant effort with high-spirits.

Hayride – Elfin Magic – Review

July 1, 1995

Once past the insipid indie rock title track, this was a wild ride. Tight, fast and ranging from hardcore grrrs to emotional punkpop, this guitar-driven release borders on psychobilly.
