For Love Not Lisa – “Good Intentions” / “Hallowed Be” – Review April 1, 1995 Post-hardcore with a heavy groove, similar to Quicksand, but not as exciting. It’s not boring, though.
Flop – “Act I Scene I” – Review April 1, 1995 Flop live up to their name as they release 7 inches of pure pop crap.
Crankcase – “Capitol Hill Murder Suicide Pact” – Review April 1, 1995 From the great liberty state of Pennsylvania comes slow pop that make ’80s bands such as Trixster and Warrant sound new and exciting.
The Queers – Surf Goddess – Review April 1, 1995 The Queers effectively marry the Beach Boys to the Ramones, and they rule.
Radiopuhelimet – Hygiene – Review April 1, 1995 Radiopuhelimet are from Finland, and would be a good introduction for people interested in foreign hardcore.
Silver Jews – Silver Jews / New Radiant Storm King – Review April 1, 1995 “The Sabellion Rebellion” is a charming, minimalist slacker tune, and “Old New York,” is spoken/sung poetry set to a lounge music background.

Blightobody – “Party Snout” / “The Moon Floats Overhead” – Review March 1, 1995 They combine guitar rock, pop sensibility, country twang, spaghetti western solos, and heavy, chugging guitars into humorous, well-produced songs.
Deadguy – Work Ethic – Review March 1, 1995 Hailing from NY, Deadguy blast out anger-ridden social knowledge. “Running with Scissors,” the best song of the three, is a brutal force to be reckoned with.
Couch – This Lifes EP – Review March 1, 1995 Sounds like Dead Kennedys strained through an old sock and played to you over the phone.
