Squirtgun – Shenanigans – Review

July 1, 1995

Far from tired punkpop, this is so fast and catchy you may hurt yourself. Clever lyrics to boot.

Splintered – Paper and Libedo – Review

July 1, 1995

Lo-Fi and spelled badly, I hope they’re making some archaic literary joke.

Speyemusic – Review

July 1, 1995

A talented grunge-punk band. They’re tight, competent, and chock full of potential. I’d like to see them live.

Speedball – Do Unto Others, Then Split – Review

July 1, 1995

Big engines, loud guitars, and lots of beer. These guys have the natural charisma and high-octane sound to be rock stars.

Space Needle – Voyager – Review

July 1, 1995

Comparable to the sedative of Spacemen 3 if they weren’t so experimental, suggestive of Front 242 with a distortion pedal, or a more introspective Stereolab.

Sonic Youth – Screaming Fields of Sonic Love – Review

July 1, 1995

The compilation takes us backward in time, slowly stripping the varnish off their sound as we approach their ’82 debut on the last of 17 tracks.

Skiploader – Anxious, Restless – Review

July 1, 1995

Sometimes they’re quick tempoed, sometimes they repeat the chorus over and over again, and sometimes they find that feedback works better than chords.

Skin Game – Review

July 1, 1995

Looming music, like foreshadowing in a Hitchcock film. Dark, powerful, impressive.

Shelter – Mantra – Review

July 1, 1995

From rap-to-melodic-core to all-out speedkills punk to whoa-whoa hardcore; Shelter does it beautifully.

Sheer Terror – Love Songs for the Unloved – Review

July 1, 1995

Prong’s Tommy Victor produced this beast to sound like a Neanderthal’s mud fight. Clods of sound are lobbed and fast-balled at you.
