Love in Reverse – I Was Here – Review

September 1, 1996

If Psycho were remade and set in Mayberry, this is what you’d get. Or maybe if David Lynch made music instead of film, he’d make I Was Here.

Loudspeaker – Re-Vertebrate – Review

September 1, 1996

Loudspeaker has more in common with funk than punk, noise, or hardcore, and as far as the grooves go, they’re pretty soulless.

Long Fin Killie – Valentino – Review

September 1, 1996

Unlike Houdini, which was an amalgamation of almost five years of songs, their new album, Valentino, is tight, concentrated, a whole in and of itself.

Lint – Cold Scene – Review

September 1, 1996

Solid, dependable, Lint is an all-around companion, whether you want enraged scream-alongs or drunken acoustic musings.

Judge Nothing – Riveter – Review

September 1, 1996

It was produced by Stephen Egerton and Bill Stevenson. Judge Nothing does a fine job blending Descendents/ALL influences into something original and quality.

Joy Electric – We are the Music Makers – Review

September 1, 1996

The cover’s black, the CD’s black, Count Ronald Martin looks like a fop and plays cheesy synth-pop with old keyboards and his heliumated voice. I can dig it.

Jawbox – Review

September 1, 1996

It seems Jawbox are back to releasing crappy albums. It’s as generic and low-impact as the countless imitators who use Government Issue’s tricks to less avail.

Headcrash – Overdose on Tradition – Review

September 1, 1996

Remember how Drown was a third-rate NIN rip-off, but actually wasn’t bad? That’s about what Headcrash is to Rage ATM, Beasties, or KMFDM.

Hatebreed – Hatebreed / Neglect split – Review

September 1, 1996

The category is hate-core, and their style is a combo of Negative Approach (hardcore) and Bathory or Venom (death metal).
