Under The Noise – Of Generation and Corruption – Review

May 1, 1996

Fits as easily in your room as the dance club, mixing uptempo grooves with a slow grind, and throwing in some moody ambience as well.

1000 Mona Lisas – New Disease – Review

May 1, 1996

No faux British accent, no green hair, and no teen angst found here. Just 14 punchy rave-ups, including a blistering cover of Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Jet.”

Uncle Jud – Review

May 1, 1996

Berklee-bred technical proficiency applied to yellowing schematics out of the Painfully Sincere Hard Rock 101 textbook.

187 Calm – Review

May 1, 1996

After toiling for three years in obscurity, this dark, brooding, quasi-Goth metal trio from San Francisco has started to get the notoriety they deserve.

Troy – Everything/West Chicago One (7″) – Review

May 1, 1996

Both tunes boast honest, intelligent lyrics and satisfying, sassy melodies, but that’s where the similarities end.

Trip 66 – Review

May 1, 1996

This extraordinary debut is loaded with heavy, pounding guitar sounds, immense percussion, and clever bass lines. Maria has the most amazing set of pipes.

Tracy and the Hindenburg Ground Crew – Margaret Dumont – Review

May 1, 1996

You have to wade through a good twenty minutes of tepid acoustic goof rock before you get to the real meat of “I Like Being Alone” and “French H20.”

Too Much Joy – Finally – Review

May 1, 1996

Their silliness keeps “serious” rock fans away, while their intelligence scares off those looking for pure fun.

The RockATeens – Review

May 1, 1996

Take yer basic psychosurf and rootsrock barnstomp, add some barely passable guitar playing, a little simplistic drumming, and a bunch of fairly awful singing.

The Moog Cookbook – Review

May 1, 1996

Ten grunge-era standards performed as if Walter/Wendy Carlos was the main talis(wo)man of modern music rather than, say, Sabbath or the Stooges.
