Nevertheless – International Research Network – Review

April 1, 1996

This waste of magnetic tape makes me want to douse my body in gasoline and immolate myself in protest against mediocre college rock-pop alterna-spew.

Mystery Machine – 10 Speed – Review

April 1, 1996

Mystery Machine invites the listener in with thick, warm guitars – a welcome change from the usual beat-you-senseless approach.

Virgo Snakes – Review

April 1, 1996

When Bob and Bob scream about being “Sad” over a rank six-string squawk, I believe ’em, but can’t help smiling anyway.

Exotica – Robert Drasnin – Lee Joseph – Interview

An interview with Robert Drasnin & Lee Joseph

United – No IQ – Review

April 1, 1996

While No IQ is about as dated as an aging nympho, United has kept current with metal. They cleverly incorporate said sounds into a speedcore cock rock format.

Murder Junkies – Feed My Sleaze – Review

April 1, 1996

GG departed our world over two years ago, but the clean-cut quartet (with new vocalist Mike Denied) has re-emerged with the pithily-titled Feed My Sleaze.

Tiki Tones – Wilt Disner Presents The Enchanted Tiki Tones – Review

April 1, 1996

Ku, Shag Lono, Lord Wahini and Hana Kokolele offer tips on what instruments to get. The kind of surf that you could very easily get stoned to.

Mr. Mirainga – Review

April 1, 1996

Already dubbed Mamba-Punk/Samba-Core, the tunes are catchy, with powerful bass lines and uncharacteristically non-Brit vocals picking up the slack.

Throttle – Review

April 1, 1996

They’re loud, angry and fast, but weird, too. The chords don’t sound right. They’ve also got this epileptic start-and-stop thing, tight as your little sister.

Mortician – House By The Cemetery – Review

April 1, 1996

Vomit in a toilet bowl and smash your knuckles into something really hard, really fast – it sounds the same, and it’s equally painful.
