The Potatomen – Cub/The Potatomen split- Review

October 1, 1995

The Potatomen would make a fun instrumental surf band, but I have trouble getting into the melancholy “I godd a stufd ub dose” vocals.

Prelude to a Lick – Column

October 1, 1995

People think I’m a mean, insensitive, anal-retentive, arrogant guy. Actually, I’m a misunderstood, sensitive, artist type, I’m just not usually drawn that way.

moe – at Mama Kin – Review

October 1, 1995

Funk bass popping, twin guitars wailing, and drumskins pounded. Sometimes compared to Phish and often lumped into the “jam band” category.

Blumfeld – Verstarker – Review

October 1, 1995

Bouncy German shoegazer pop. When I say German, I mean it.

Stanford Prison Experiment – The Gato Hunch – Review

October 1, 1995

Tight as the Gordian knot in the laces of your Docs, Stanford Prison Experiment’s second LP has volume, punch, and claustrophobic dynamics to burn.

Marble Index – with Fixion at the Rat – Review

October 1, 1995

Ghostly texture augmented by the enthusiastic, very tribal drumming of Brian Noel. Bassist Tim Taylor grounds singer/guitarist Olivia Block’s silky whisper.

Bloodloss – “Face Down In Mud” – Review

October 1, 1995

Swing rock with sensual organs, harmonica, sexy tenor sax, night radio DJ twangy , and the slide guitars add just the right amount of sleaze.

Black Market Flowers – Thicket – Review

October 1, 1995

Thicket strays even further into Floydian territory and is soothing and groovable because of it. Good zoning-out rock, but kinda unremarkable otherwise.

Birmingham 6 – Policestate – Review

October 1, 1995

4 remixes of “Policestate,” 2 covers of KMFDM’s “Godlike,” and a marching anthem “Birmingham 6.” The remixes vary from electro/industrial to frantic techno.

Fixion – with Marble Index at the Rat – Review

October 1, 1995

Though certainly inspired by bands such as Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, Fixion features a more organic component.
