Red Aunts – At The Middle East Cafe – Review

July 1, 1995

Too punk for their own good, the Red Aunts fuckin’ rocked! Nothing is sacred when they have mics at their mouths. They insulted everything and everyone.

Twiitch – Review

July 1, 1995

Insipid indie pop, but with a good surf “Spy Hunter” riff on the first song.

Pet UFO – at The Rat – Review

July 1, 1995

Singer Souci Broskowitz is a woman-in-rock to keep an eye on. She’s vicious. She’s a victim. She’s hurt, but she ain’t gonna whine for your sympathy.

July 1, 1995

This ska band have a hypercharged sound best described as snorting Pixie Stix, or, as the band says, “Chucklehead on crack.”

Machinery Hall – at the Paradise – Review

July 1, 1995

July 1, 1995

Ben Vaughn – Instrumental Stylings – Review

July 1, 1995

Munsters/Pulp Fiction surf to Ennio Morriconi in India to the audacious swamp rock groove of “Battery Acid.” Most of the tracks are instrumentals.

The Tunnel Rats – Run For Your Life – Review

July 1, 1995

The Tunnel Rats turn out hate punk at its finest. Fucking sheep, getting loaded, tipping cows, and kicking hippie ass all along the drug-crazed Gonzo trail.

Ben Folds Five – Review

July 1, 1995

Imagine Squeeze with a definite punk edge. Sweeping energy, memorable songs, and great lyrics make this album a total, absolute must get.
