Lucky Me – Glue – Review

February 1, 1996

Despite being a perfectly good band, Lucky Me can’t stay with eerie beauty or outbursts of freakish energy. They stick with an annoyingly muddy middle.

Tribe 8 – Roadkill Cafe – Review

February 1, 1996

With one exception, the rest of the songs on this disc are live. Check out their killer cover of “Radar Love.” You go, grrls!

Laurels – 90-95 – Review

February 1, 1996

Laurels play a peculiar brand of loud art-rock, so dark and powerful that it’s hardly a surprise that it’s been apportioned out mostly in the small doses.

Thought Industry – Outer Space Is Only A Martini Away – Review

February 1, 1996

Okay, it’s not metal. It’s not Goof Rock. It’s not New Wave. It’s not Art Rock. But it is. It’s all of these things, and none.

Lagwagon – Hoss – Review

February 1, 1996

Outcast – ZAO / Outcast split – Review

February 1, 1996

This is hardcore! Super heavy punch out the guy next to you music. So, let’s grow our hair out and rock!

Journey Into Darkness – The Mourning After/Voyage – Review

February 1, 1996

Formerly, Near Death Experience, Journey Into Darkness is a non-vocal electronic trip through space, terror, and death.

The Suspects – Review

February 1, 1996

The Suspects pull it off, which is more than I can say for a lot of bands, it’s just as far as new ideas go, hardcore, as a genre, is well… suspect.

The Stuffings – Macro Metal – Review

February 1, 1996

Macro Metal may be a bunch of really stoned guys in a living room with a four track and too many effect pedals, just fucking around and giggling. But so what?

J Church – Nostalgic For Nothing – Review

February 1, 1996

Nostalgic For Nothing is a J Church singles compilation. Same shit; just as cool, if not more so.
