Tripface – This Foundation – Review

September 1, 1996

Serious and morosely political metal/rap is a limited category, and most bands who try it, like Tripface, can’t pull it off.

Tripl3fast Action – Broadcaster – Review

September 1, 1996

In the post-Nirvana world we live in, I suppose there’s some comfort in knowing that if we need an imitation-Kurt fix, one is readily available.

Trash Brats – Out Of The Closet – Review

September 1, 1996

Bubblegum in drag – they look like the New York Dolls and sound like the Bay City Rollers on speed.

The Royal Crowns – Fireball Stomp – Review

September 1, 1996

This new vinyl from The Royal Crowns is a slick-fueled ass-shaker full of trademark Kendall lyrics and drag race riffs to burn down any rockabilly house party.

The Raincoats – Looking in the Shadows – Review

September 1, 1996

Fanatics and followers of grrrl grrroups like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile need to know that their sound and style was mothered by England’s The Raincoats.
