Pinch Point – Review

October 1, 1995

I’m a Tarantino fan, that’s why it was a blast to open up to “15 Reasons Why Pulp Fiction Sucks.” All true, and with more bite than Letterman could muster.

Mistle Thrush – Agus Amarach – Review

October 1, 1995

No matter how much Mistle Thrush wants to sound mysterious, I only feel a warm, happy flow from them.

The Wolfmen – “Wishy Washy Woman” – Review

October 1, 1995

Sounds like instruments bought at Toys R Us, with perfectly rockabilly vocals. It’s comforting to know that there will always be silly, fun garage rock.

Moon Ska Skazette – Review

October 1, 1995

I wouldn’t label it a ‘zine so much as a catalogue, however, if you’re a fan, you can catch up on some ska news for yourself. Bon Skappetite!

Mind Over Matter – Automanipulation – Review

October 1, 1995

Reverberating screams, atmospheric leads, and a guitar sound so thick you could only cut it with a precision laser.

The Shods – Here Come The Shods – Review

October 1, 1995

These lads blend the loungey spotlight with Repo Man background music.

Chickfactor – #9 – Review

October 1, 1995

It’s stuffed full of information. Some fluff, but no filler. The “Tour Horror Stories” were very entertaining.

The Royal Crowns – The Amazing Sounds Of… – Review

October 1, 1995

I’m a switchblade swinging drag strip daddy. Rockabilly is the music, The Royal Crowns is the band, and dangerous is all that need be said about these cats.

Metroschifter – The Metroschifter Capsule – Review

October 1, 1995

Metroschifter can be thought of as a hardcore symphony. Besides having complex rhythms, they have two cellists, and an upright bassist.

Banana Peel Buzz – Review

October 1, 1995

Somebody in Maryland wanted to give opinions on new albums and interview a couple of bands. I’m happy to see coverage of the indies, but do it right.
