Kid With Man Head – Flapjack Hairpiece – Review

March 1, 1998

It’s got all the right “yeah, yeah”s, “woo, woo”s, and looping rounds of the chorus. At times, they swerve from SoCal rawk to sound kinda, um, Jersey rock.

Juliana Hatfield – Please Do Not Disturb – Review

March 1, 1998

This six song EP is a pleasant, although not too radical, departure from the “Spin the Bottle” type of alterna-pop Ms. Hatfield has graced us with recently.

Independents – Stalker – Review

March 1, 1998

“I Am the Victim” is a beyond-improbable genre splice: Part Op Ivy, part-Biohazard, and part-Four Seasons (sans falsetto). These guys deserve to be rock stars.

An “Interview” With J.D. Salinger – Fiction

March 1, 1998

J.D. Salinger recently agreed to break his 40-year silence, consenting to an interview with the acclaimed literature/music/fashion critic, Jean-Paul Bavard.

H2O – Thicker Than Water – Review

March 1, 1998

Like Bouncing Souls (only more NY hardcore), H2O are never as good on record as they are on stage, but Thicker than Water is better than a stick in the eye.

Godboy – The Best Looking Band in the World – Review

March 1, 1998

“My Balls” is a sweet ballad. Dreamy acoustic guitar tip-toes as Savage tells the wispy tale of having a disagreement with his balls. This is bizarre. I like.

Gang Green – Preschool – Review

March 1, 1998

As fast, chaotic, sloppy, and pure snot-flickin’ angry as you’d expect from the heyday of Boston hardcore in the early ’80s.

Coroner’s Corner – The Milky Way Massacre – Column

March 1, 1998

Starship Troopers provides a wild ride through alien-filled terrain and tosses in bulging amounts of gore and nudity.

Fleshcrawl – Bloodred Massacre – Review

March 1, 1998

Growl-by-numbers death metal. Brutal and powerfully produced by Peter Tägtgren. A steady blur of what might as well be the same song.

Fall From Grace – Review

March 1, 1998

Fall From Grace trudges through swampy emotions, all roads leading nowhere, all vegetation doomed in the end, the smell of slow-moving death at your heels.
