WOCC – Human Gene Therapy – Review

June 1, 1997

What do you get when you blend sensuously dark, Alice in Chains-esque vocals with heavy groove bass, trippy/funky guitars, and a funky-ass drummer? A buzz.

Entombed – Review

June 1, 1997

This self-titled release collects a few of the gems found only on EPs and the split 7″ with New Bomb Turks.

Diatribe – Review

June 1, 1997

If melodic yet angry, guitar-driven yet coldly, synthetically strong music is your bag, check out Diatribe.

Wayne Kramer – Citizen Wayne – Review

June 1, 1997

He was one of the MC5’s guitar slingers. He played with Johnny Thunders and G.G. Allin. He’s never given a bad interview in his life.

DFL – Grateful – Review

June 1, 1997

It’s “Old Fashioned Hardcore,” as they describe it, like Dischord, circa 1981 (like Void) or the Gang Green and FUs (I’m talkin’ the reeeaaally short songs).

Wang Chung – Everybody Wang Chung Tonight – Review

June 1, 1997

Any band that makes the Alarm look remotely acceptable in comparison is clearly in deep shit.

Demolition Doll Rods – Tasty – Review

June 1, 1997

Some sloppy garage mechanic rock. One of girls is “vision impaired,” another is a sexy piece of trash, and the third girl… uh, is a guy in drag.

Waiting For God – Quarter Inch Thick – Review

June 1, 1997

Waiting For God, a female-fronted outfit that uses keyboards more than guitars, tread the dark waters between the solid shores of metal and pop.

D.O.A. – NYC Speedcore – Review

June 1, 1997

Similar to Delta 9 in the hardcore techno sounds, D.O.A. has one very specific element that distinguishes them: They’re from New York and fuckin’ proud of it.

Vaughn – Identity Crisis – Review

June 1, 1997

I’ve heard the Nine Inch Nails demos, and they sucked. Derek Vaughn’s music isn’t that bad, but you wouldn’t know that from the production.
