Anaconda – Review

June 1, 1997

Anaconda is about a bunch of people who travel on a riverboat deep into the heart of the Amazon and get completely fucked up by large snakes.

2 Days In The Valley – Review

June 1, 1997

Sure, 2 Days in the Valley is a good movie, but Pulp Fiction is a great movie.

Fountains of Wayne – Review

June 1, 1997

Fountains of Wayne is self-consciously cool, hip Weezer-esque pop without any really memorable hooks.

Foetus – Null/Void – Review

June 1, 1997

For those of you who know who J.G. Thirlwell is, all I need to say is that Null and Void are being re-released as a two-disc set.

Flipp – Review

June 1, 1997

Mike Ness’ vocals with John Lydon’s sneer, set to Cheap Trick, geek chic style tunes, mix in the dirty glamour and glitz of New York Dolls and you get Flipp.

Ferd Mert – All This and Morons – Review

June 1, 1997

Remember early Screeching Weasel records with the track listings in tiny type so they’d fit from top to bottom? Ferd Mert do. 37 punk ditties here.

Zen Guerrilla – Invisible ‘Liftee’ Pad/ Gap-tooth Clown – Review

June 1, 1997

“Go buy this record,” cos you should hear it for yerself and decide if you like yer skin crawlin’ and the hairs a-standin’ up on the back of yer neck.

June 1, 1997

I’m for asleep-at-the-controls-of-the-astral-plane acid meanderock, but when said music progresses about as compellingly as watching a dope seed sprout…

Xysma – Lotto – Review

June 1, 1997

Opening with a thin-sounding Clutch-popping rhythm, the buried-in-the-mix vocals seem to be singing throatily, but it’s really hard to tell.

Evil’s Toy – XTC Implant – Review

June 1, 1997

If you enjoyed other Evil’s Toy releases (or ’80s industrial in general), this won’t disappoint. It’s catchy, but not as dark as their last release.
