Flipside – #100 – Review

May 1, 1996

Flipside continues to grow and put out an informative and noteworthy publication without losing their integrity or going “mainstream.” Happy Hundredth!

Planet Minivan – Review

May 1, 1996

As an added bonus to all you Illinois scene enthusiasts, Jerkwater, International Hoodwink, Shift, and Gaffle also appear on this compilation. Not too shabby.

BME: The Body Modification E-zine – Review

May 1, 1996

The links are great, and the photography is clear. Strongly emphasized is the importance of sterility, during both the modification and healing process.

24-7 Artzine – Vol.2 #4 – Review

May 1, 1996

Artists and writers reveling in the delightful. 24-7’s accessible artiness is never self-conscious or preachy. There’s plenty of wit and first-rate writing.

Kill The Rock Star: A New Jersey Compilation – Review

May 1, 1996

Core rounds out the whole shebang with a heavy, jamming, hard greaser rock thing. Great wa-wa guitar. See? There’s more to NJ than just highway exits.

Absolute Beginners – Review

May 1, 1996

London swings, and boy, was that pendulum swingin’ in the late ’50s. This was the time to be a young cat or kitten, prowling the dives, lookin’ for fresh kicks.

A Few of My Favorite Things – Another Band That Changed My Life – Column

May 1, 1996

Nomeansno – Sex Mad/You Kill Me – “Dad” is horrifying, “Self Pity” is gut wrenching, and “Metronome” just plain kicks ass. Play loud and sing along.

Jeffology – Review

May 1, 1996

Another tribute album in a long line of tribute albums. The music of Jeff Beck is performed by a handful of the prominent fret-shredders of the last 10 years.

In Memory of Celtic Frost – Review

May 1, 1996

Despising over half these “tributes” inspired me to pull out the originals, and reminded me many bands aren’t good at being themselves, much less Celtic Frost.

I’m Your Biggest Fan – Review

May 1, 1996

A punk rock & emo compilation of signed and unsigned young bands. Too many styles to get into, and 21 bands from coast to coast and beyond.
