Eskimo – The Further Adventures of Der Shrimpkin – Review

September 1, 1995

The disjointed and looping lines with semi- traditional rock formats sound like a re-vamped version of our good Captain, even down to the Dadaist lyrics.

Splendiferous Monster – Ugly Up Close – Review

September 1, 1995

Two tunes featuring slick production, somewhat cynical and thought-provoking lyrics, a killer drummer, and not much else.

Rainbows & Lollipops – #1 – Review

September 1, 1995

This is a poetry ‘zine. Each small, white page has at its top a poet’s name in bold black letters. Underneath is the poem. All the pages look the same.

Spacehog – Resident Alien – Review

September 1, 1995

A band called Spacehog should not be playing music that sounds like the bastard urchin spawn of mainstream pop feces and just bad, stale rock.

New Rave – #13 – Review

September 1, 1995

This mag has not a pair of natural breasts in it, but the models are attractive, Peter Steele (Typo O Neg.) talks about sex, the poses are above average.

Loompanics Unlimited – Review

September 1, 1995

“The best book catalog in the world.” The catalog, itself a 300-page book, contains essays, comics and exhaustive descriptions of hard to find books for sale.

Caustic Truth – #28 – Review

September 1, 1995

Simple cut-and-paste music ‘zine. It’s not pretentious and engaging. Includes interviews with Fastbacks, Marilyn Manson, Suede, Killjoys, DRI, NOFX, etc.

Soup – Prospects of Linguica – Review

September 1, 1995

Trippy logos and funky/fast bass lines make this really fun. The guitarist does that flutter-handed funk strumming and flavors the sound with crisp soloing.

Bivouac – Review

September 1, 1995

They’re grungy guitar rock for the ’90s; sort of like if Candlebox had any credibility, they’d try to sound like these guys.

Birdbrain – Bliss – Review

September 1, 1995

Songs like “Hometown” and “Roslindale” describe the hopelessness and inner strength that comes with growing up in the broken down expectations of the suburbs.
