Slick Shoes – Review

February 1, 1997

Slick Shoes has fast as fuck drumming like NOFX, Strung Out, and practically everything on Fat’s roster, and crisp, precise, mega-fast guitar riffing.

Skankin’ Pickle – The Green Album – Review

February 1, 1997

This release is Skankin’ Pickle’s fifth and last with front man Mike Park who left to focus on The Bruce Lee Band and his new Asian Man Records label.

Enduro – Shiva Speedway / Enduro split “Moonshine” / “Sister” – Review

February 1, 1997

I can do without Enduro’s schmaltzy indie ballad on side b.

Seade – Perf – Review

February 1, 1997

I haven’t found rock too provoking since Zepplin did The Rain Song (which didn’t really rock), Seade’s Perf is an excellent grab at quality atmospheric rock.

Screeching Weasel – Bark Like A Dog – Review

February 1, 1997

Has many of the same elements that made SW great in the first place. It bops, it sneers, it snarls, there are lots of “whoa-whoa”s and “whoa-ah-oh”s.

Rose Chronicles – Happily Ever After – Review

February 1, 1997

Ethereal and enchanting, the Rose Chronicles’ Kristy Thirsk lays her smooth-as-silk vocals over the sleepwalking guitars of Richard Maranda.

SNFU – at The Middle East – Review

February 1, 1997

So there I stood, uninvolved, as I watched SNFU go through the motions of retching up a sorry-Johnny-one-note performance. I don’t like them in a club either.

Pernice Brothers – “Jimmy Coma” / “Monkey Suit” – Review

February 1, 1997

The Pernice Brothers play lazy jangle pop, like a hybrid of Scud Mountain Boys and Beck fighting his way through a Xanax stupor.

Oneiroid Psychosis – Fantasies About Illness – Review

February 1, 1997

The soundscapes do drag on at times, but it’s not a tedious drone. If you want angst played by guys with 1800’s medical fetishes, this is the disc for you.

No Fun At All – Out Of Bounds – Review

February 1, 1997

I can’t find much fault with Out Of Bounds. The songs are filled with catchy hooks and lots of breaks, and the vocals are very slick with nice harmonies.
