The Rhythm Party – Breakfast with Kafka – Review

October 1, 1995

These guys are so utterly devoid of funk that a dentist would consider it square. It’s so unoffensive, it’s downright offensive.

Mercury Rev – See You On The Other Side – Review

October 1, 1995

See You On the Other Side is an album that should be listened to from start to finish, preferably in a somewhat altered state of consciousness.

Bikini Kill – “Anti-Pleasure Dissertation” – Review

October 1, 1995

The greatest screaming ranters and Ramones riffs thieves this side of Shonen Knife are back and as sloppy as ever.

The Reveals – Reading – Review

October 1, 1995

Poppy punk with likable hooks. A hint of Hüsker Dü is a nice change of pace, punk that’s coherent. If you’re a fan of early Taang! stuff, this is for you.

Mental Hippie Blood – Pounds – Review

October 1, 1995

Mental Hippie Blood is a solid, soulful rock band filled with hooks and melodies, combining righteous soloing and powerful vocals into once heavy rock package.

The Meteors – Corpse Grinder – Review

October 1, 1995

Corpse Grinder is a collection of A and B sides from 1984 to 1989 and proves once again that there ain’t nothing like the real thing.

Mauth Mann – Aliens for Lunch – Review

October 1, 1995

Serious garage rock. Some good samples, and a great artistic sense (punk-wise). Let’s see these guys make it big.

Battalion of Saints – Death-R-Us – Review

October 1, 1995

On the eve of their reunion under the moniker Battalion of Saints A.D., Taang! has issued a compilation of most of their songs from the early ’80s.

The Marlows – Andrea’s Sidewalk – Review

October 1, 1995

Take a little Gin Blossoms, add a pinch of Hooters, and we’ve got the new Fox TV teen show theme Muzak. These guys are careening toward the Cliffs of Dooneen.

Apartment 3-G – New Hope For the Dead – Review

October 1, 1995

For people who are already into scummy, obese punk rock looking to beef up their collection. Fans of Poison Idea should dig it.
