Death Scenes – Review

October 1, 1996

Presented in eerie black and white with the original hand-scrawled descriptions beneath them, the majority of these photos are very terrifying.

Cult TV Episode Guide – Review

October 1, 1996

We’re the Television Generation, the Couch Potato Generation, if you will. How many of us have made plans around what’s going to be on TV?

Cult Rapture – Review

October 1, 1996

Though the first half of the book focuses on the ridiculous, Parfrey takes a political swing in the second half, and tends to lean in favor of the Militias.

Angry Thoreauan – #17 – Review

October 1, 1996

From the cover, Angry Thoreauan sets itself high among the sarcastic and satirical periodicals available today. The cover is a parody of Highlights magazine.

Bison – Space Evader – Review

October 1, 1996

Bison digs deep into ’70s style anthemic rock. Their two most hard-hitting qualities are a blinding barrage of sweeping guitar riffs and vocal sonic attacks.

Cine-Trash – Moreau – Column

October 1, 1996

In his topsail-sized kimono, and fey, lisping voice, Brando’s Moreau comes off less like a reclusive madman than a gay sumo wrestler dabbling in Kabuki.

Bantam Rooster – Miss Luxury – Review

October 1, 1996

Coming across like a more bucolic Blues Explosion, Bantam Rooster’s Spencer-isms succeed on “Real Live Wire.” “Miss Luxury” is a clunker.

American Sensei – Engine 88 / American Sensei split – Review

October 1, 1996

“Man Club” is another alterna-rock, semi-not-punk sort of song, “Heater On” is yet another attempt to exhume the Pixies that ends up with a dessicated corpse.

Coroner’s Corner – Your Pussy Cat is a Fox – Column

October 1, 1996

The Island of Dr. Moreau is a modernized version of an already twice-told tale of genetic manipulation. Marlon Brando tackles the role with a strange gusto.

Heckle – AFI / Heckle split – Review

October 1, 1996

AFI sounds like No Use For a Name or Pennywise but with more ’80s hardcore bite.
