SNFU – Let’s Get It Right the First Time – Review

January 1, 1999

They pepper Let’s Get It Right the First Time with chestnuts like “I Forget,” “Bobbit,” and “Eric’s Had a Bad Day.”

Cranium – Speed Metal Slaughter – Review

Guitars scale madly, whammy bars shudder, and umPA-umPA drumming ensues, meanwhile vocalist Chainsaw Demon cackles wickedly and emits Baloffian yelps.

Slaughter – Eternal Live – Review

January 1, 1999

While every other falsetto-screaming cock rockin’ quintet had to get haircuts and start dressing like guys for a change, Slaughter still attracts an audience.

Codex – Review

January 1, 1999

January 1, 1999

Block smartly and sharply provides a soundtrack to the great tack that is America in the 1990s.

Blindspot – Acceleration Zero – Review

January 1, 1999

Buried in this thick mix is a good band. Ska with heavy guitars, like stripped-down early Fishbone without the manic howls and clever lyrics.
