MRC – META/Morph – Review

February 1, 1996

Soulful vocals, pseudo-horns and funk rock paces give this song a Fishbone/Faith No More feel, with a touch of Zappa thrown in gratuitously.

All That – #7 – Review

February 1, 1996

Just about split down the middle between hardcore and hip-hop coverage. The magazine is run by the members of Dare to Defy, who also own Too Damn Hype Records.

Coroner’s Corner – Asian Demonic Sex Fetish – Column

February 1, 1996

Often funny and full of unbelievable gunplay, The Killer blows away Terminator and Lethal Weapon. Also check out Hard-Boiled and the A Better Tomorrow series.

Xanax 25 – Denial Fest – Review

February 1, 1996

Heavy, moody pop with crashing guitars. Jaik Miller’s vocals on “Scary Dream Fade” are so overwhelmingly raw they raised the hair on the back of my neck.

Coroner’s Corner – Column

February 1, 1996

My only regret is that Sigourney didn’t have anything slimy burst gorily out of her chest in Copycat. They should have worked it in.

Julian Cope – 20 Mothers – Review

February 1, 1996

In the late ’70s, he was the erratic, acid-gobbling genius who piloted the Teardrop Explodes to worldwide stardom, rockstar excess, and subsequent implosion.

Cine-Trash – Faster Pussy Cat Kill Kill – Column

February 1, 1996

Without this film, neither John Waters nor the Cramps would exist, and the world would be a poorer place indeed.

Warzone – Cause For Alarm – Split – Review

February 1, 1996

Part of the charm of the older scene was that the kids could be so naive and yet play music with such heartfelt conviction and drive.

Mediacrity – Column

February 1, 1996

Please help settle a bet for me. My brother says that you can see TV in 3-D if you close one eye. I say he’s been drinking too much Pledge. Who’s right?

Miss America’s Trash – Swallow – Review

February 1, 1996

Heavy, industrial-tinged guitar, throbbing bass and powerful drums. I’d like to hear more from these guys, if only they’d find a singer who can, well, sing.
