Sicko – Chef Boy R U Dumb – Review

February 1, 1996

Infectious, bubblegum, “pep-rally” punk with goofy lyrics that should prompt many giggles. A cross between Green Day and the 1910 Fruitgum Company.

A Few of My Favorite Things – Hey, I Like That Black Shit – Column

February 1, 1996

The Breakfast Club – I liked the way Allie Sheedy looked, okay?

Sibera – Damage – Review

February 1, 1996

Spacy liquid pop with enough rough edges and hooks for your ear to get a toehold, textured and ambient but with enough complexity to keep your attention.

A Few of My Favorite Things – Four Great Party-Wreckin’, Lease-Breakin’, Cat-Scarin’ Records – Column

February 1, 1996

Suicide “Frankie Teardrop”: As bleak as a Hubert Selby novel and kilos more visceral, this nerve-knotting meisterwerk is one of the scariest songs of all time.

Shoveljerk – Swarm – Review

February 1, 1996

Shoveljerk has powerful melodies, well-developed song structures, a solid drummer and bass player, and interesting guitar interplay.

Sharp Nine – Untimed – Review

February 1, 1996

Pensive and esoteric lyrics coalesce with blaring guitars. The music is melodic, haunting, and heavy, but it tends to get redundant after the first few songs.

Thus Spake the Prophet Mitchell to the inhabitants of Allston/Brighton – Fiction

February 1, 1996

Only too late you will realize your siren song is a groan, your poetry is a drink menu, and your drawing is a half-hearted wipe of your sorry ass.

Serpico – Feel Bad Rainbow – Review

February 1, 1996

Upbeat power-pop-core, like Avail meets Shift. Likable from the first note to the last, with melodic vocals and catchy beats.

Scramblehead – Valley of the Bugs – Review

February 1, 1996

Scramblehead has taken Manson’s tunes and processed them through an angrier society, transforming his utopian, naive words into the voice of a new revolution.

The Torture Never Stops – Fiction

February 1, 1996

The fat child stuck her tongue out at Henry. The father made a waving, dismissive motion with his hand. Henry stacked the plates and carried them to the kitchen.
