E. Coli – 0157H7- Review

July 1, 1995

Gorgeously slow and noisy. A trip through sub atomic landscapes with your host, Capt. Valium.

MxPx – Teenage Politics – Review

July 1, 1995

In an age of punker-than-thou, MxPx is a breath of fresh air. They write hyperenergetic tunes filled with broken-hearts, questions, and strivings for change.

Earth Crisis – Destroy the Machines – Review

July 1, 1995

Becoming more metallic usually marks the downfall for most straight-edge hardcore bands, but it only deepens the intensity of Earth Crisis.

Mourn – Review

July 1, 1995

Mountains of bassy guitar and lyrics about dreaming, souls, reality; the dreary mysticism of acid rock. Caroline Wilson adds a beautiful, trembling voice.

W.A.R. Compilation Vol. I – Review

July 1, 1995

Dark Tranquility, Katatonia, Dissection, and In Flames will have you spinning this disc religiously. The production and packaging alone make this essential.

Social Distortion – with The Bouncing Souls at T.T. the Bears – Review

July 1, 1995

R.A.F.R.: A Flipside Compilation – Review

July 1, 1995

Most of the 24 groups featured would definitely qualify as “underground” with the exception of Black Train Jack and Wax, who blend in quite nicely nonetheless.

Milkmoney – I’m Really Ugly – Review

July 1, 1995

The sluggish and grinding music provides a moody backdrop for Denise Monahan’s voice, which sounds sweet and lovely one minute, angry and accusatory the next.

Postcards From America – Review

July 1, 1995

Personally, I snatched this tape for the 1970s truckin’ classic by Stonewall Jackson “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo.”
