Supergrass – at the Paradise – Review

October 11, 1995

From the opening pounding to the cockney whines at the close, the boys ripped thru romps of police chases, girlfriends, London alleyways, and strange fellows.

The Culture Bunker – Fiction

October 1, 1995

I am running out of time to write the Great American Youth-Angst Novel. So, I put all of my protruding organs to their respective grindstones.

Semisonic – Pleasure EP – Review

October 1, 1995

The bland, torturous pop music of Semisonic is the sound Hootie makes as he struggles to keep singing and pretend that the Blowfish isn’t eating him alive.

Ultra Bide – God is God…Puke is Puke – Review

October 1, 1995

Ultra Bidé spits out noise combined with that NYC artsy-punk style that always knows how to make a song interesting.

Nine Inch Nails – with David Bowie, Prick at Great Woods – Review

Picasso Trigger – Bipolar Cowboy – Review

October 1, 1995

Beyond punk, light-years beyond sassy, frontwoman Kathy Poindexter is more like crassy. I fell in love when they played at T.T.’s last summer.

Torcher – The Beautiful Sounds of… – Review

October 1, 1995

With pretty female vocals and a power trio, Torcher needs a lot of power to rise to the top. Luckily, they have it, right in the guitar.

Panhead – “Gone” – Review

October 1, 1995

Spaced out, layered guitar rock that makes me think of the Afghan Whigs. This single is very promising, but its circulation is minuscule.

The Wynona Riders – J.D. Salinger – Review

October 1, 1995

Fast, thrashy, fuzzy, distortion-heavy, feedback-laden guitar, speed of light timekeeping, and snarly, sneering, screaming vocals.

The Tiki Tones – Captain Morgan® Rum Presents: Songs for Rum Drinkers – Review

October 1, 1995

The Tiki Tones claim to play only Mosrite guitars or guitars that look like Mosrite guitars. Four right-on surf tunes.
