The Flying Saucers – Review

July 1, 1995

The market may already be inundated with ’60s psych meets ’90s alternative, but if there is another space, the Flying Saucers could fill it quite nicely.

Altamira – “Lucy” / “Bridge” – Review

July 1, 1995

Playing instruments in a loud, aggressive, heavy, progressive band is easier than being a lead singer. It’s rare to find a captivating voice.

The Doosies – Lil’ Honey – Review

July 1, 1995

After living in Boston only four years, I can’t stomach the “Boston Rock” sound. It made this town famous, so many will probably dig this band.

4 – The Past and the Present – Review

July 1, 1995

Zep-style guitars, weird and wild drum sound, distorted, dissident, and choppy everything else. Renews my faith in innovative rock.

The Burrs – Big Breakfast – Review

July 1, 1995

Non-offensive light pop. Happy and fun with jumpy and upbeat melodies. They put me in a good mood, even after listening to about 8,000 of these bands.

The Boo Radleys – Wake Up! – Review

July 1, 1995

Every song is ludicrously catchy, laden with instantly memorable hooks and choruses, drenched with melody that rivals McCartney’s when he was still good.

Lyres – at the Baystate Hotel – Review

July 1, 1995

A the staid Baystate Hotel, where most people are too cool to move, they were hot footin’ it around the carpeted floor. Yeah, they were cuttin’ up the rug.

Sugar Ray – with Lordz of Brooklyn, Korn at Axis – Review

July 1, 1995

Sugar Ray launched into their heavy chugging rap attack and wasted no time getting the crowd fistbanging, headslamming, bodysurfing, and that whoa-whoa thang.

Lordz of Brooklyn – with Sugar Ray, Korn at Axis – Review

July 1, 1995

Five kinda white/hispanic guys with mics and bats and lottsa tats. They’re trading their raps and stompin’ around, while the drummer’s chillin’ in the back.

Liquid Pistachio – at Bill’s Bar – Review

July 1, 1995

They had a hard, driving bass, and showcased the conga playing of percussionist Jorg’e Acevedo, while it’s the lead guitar of Richard Lymon that really shines.
