Tulips – “Wet” – Review

February 1, 1995

Uninspiring drone-to-howling vocals over noisy striptease music. I usually like them. Cover of Killdozer’s “King of Sex.”

The Stand GT – The Stand GT / Potbelly – Review

February 1, 1995

A tribute to Montreal’s Nils has Potbelly droning and screeching feedback & The Stand GT ripping thru a melodious, poppy version of a song I thought I’d hate.

The Hormones – “Sell Out Young” – Review

February 1, 1995

Not the most profound lyrics in the world, but the music is Sex Pistols punk – sloppy, pissy and poorly recorded.

Helium – “Pat’s Trick” – Review

February 1, 1995

“Pat’s Trick” is a chunk of bass and vacant vocals that builds into a singable noise-pop tune. “Ghost Car” gives me shivers. A hauntingly beautiful song.

Dogtooth – “Black” – Review

February 1, 1995

Well-produced, “Black” stays honest and gritty. Luckily, the lyrics are printed on the back. Somebody is a really good writer.

Potbelly – The Stand GT / Potbelly – Review

February 1, 1995

A tribute to Montreal’s Nils has Potbelly droning and screeching feedback & The Stand GT ripping thru a melodious, poppy version of a song I thought I’d hate.

Crumb – “Spit” – Review

February 1, 1995

Punky, mainly because it sounds terrible and no one plays very well. They suck, but they’re fun.

Mukilteo Fairies – Special Rites – Review

February 1, 1995

Queencore hardcore punk rock from Olympia, WA. They’re very, very fast with a guitar sound as lovely as a car wreck.

Bracket – Stinky Fingers – Review

February 1, 1995

These Cali-punkers cruise through three melodic, upbeat ditties. Bracket wails live, and put out some of the catchiest pop-punk out there.

Boys Life – Boys Life / Vitreous Humor – “Temporary” / “Why Are You So Mean To Me?” – Review

February 1, 1995

Boy’s Life sound more hardcore than punk to me: Loud and heavy guitars, lots of shouting and big drums.
