Auntie Christ – “Bad Trip” – Review

October 1, 1997

Our old friend Exene’s back in black (vinyl) and she’s fuggin’ pissed like she hasn’t been since Wild Gift. Good thing.

1313 Mockingbird Lane – “Problems” – Review

October 1, 1997

Obsessively-reiterated Farfisa runs, cheesy vocal fx, and a sense of besotted irresponsibility that brings to mind the proto-neo-retroistics of Fleshtones.

Xysma – Lotto – Review

June 1, 1997

Opening with a thin-sounding Clutch-popping rhythm, the buried-in-the-mix vocals seem to be singing throatily, but it’s really hard to tell.

Less Than Jake – Crash Course In Being an Asshole – Review

February 1, 1997

Sans ska-stylings, Less Than Jake here play pop punk in the Screeching Weasel vein. Predictable “whoas” are placed in the usual, slightly off-time format.

J. Church – Kittums In a Coma – Review

February 1, 1997

This three song release has one original tune, “Lines,” which is a Bay Area punk interpretation of Hüsker Dü’s hardcore period.

Iris – Iris / Swirlies split – Vents Of The Ocean Floor – Review

February 1, 1997

Iris’ “Statements by Scientists” brings a summer-afternoon-in-the-park feel to the cutesy confrontation of grrrl groups like Bratmobile.

Humble Gods – The Suicide Machines/Humble Gods split – Review

February 1, 1997

Humble Gods play melodic hardcore that’s actually hard. Their riffs are old school, Adrenalin O.D.-style, with a negligible new twist on the theme.

Fun Lovin’ Criminals – “Scooby Snacks” – Review

February 1, 1997

These guys are all the rage with pseudo-hip hop fans. They’re actually quite good when they’re singing. When they try to rap it’s just “go, white boy, go!”

Shiva Speedway – Shiva Speedway / Enduro split – “Moonshine” / “Sister” – Review

February 1, 1997

The vocalist’s tortured screams complement the music without saying, “look at me, I’m a drunk and disgruntled starving musician!”

Elliott Smith – “Speed Trials” – Review

February 1, 1997

Like Lou Barlow riding on a particularly moody wavelength with only an acoustic guitar and whispering drums. Simultaneously depressing and celebratory.
