Juliana Luecking – Dream Cum Go Down – Review December 1, 1995 Julianna Leucking goes to clubs, parks, the supermarket, etc., and asks questions. A collection of short interviews with lesbians by a lesbian.
JRZ System – Review December 1, 1995 Imagine a somewhat pissed-off Joe Satriani leading a ferocious hard-funk trio. Sometimes angry, sometimes melodic, but always in the groove.
Internal Bleeding – Voracious Contempt – Review December 1, 1995 The low, growling vocals, non-stop double bass thunder, mainly hyperdeath snare assault and very self-produced guitar just are not for me.
Hostility – Brick – Review December 1, 1995 A wild mix of dirty backwoods chords and Pantera roar, this is as close to Down’s heavy sludge sound as I’ve heard, sans New Orleans’ shuffle.
Head and Leg – In Your Dreams – Review December 1, 1995 In Your Dreams is a sound collage made up of ambient and musical noise interspersed/intertwined with shrieked and sighed and spoken words.
Gwar – Rag Na Rok – Review December 1, 1995 They’ve beefed up their sound with samples and added a few stylistic incongruities. But the high point of the disc is definitely the lyrical content.
Guilt – Bardstown Ugly Box – Review December 1, 1995 Guilt are low, mean, noisy, and yet musical, and heavy. You might even say “spooky.” Their songs range from blasts of hardcore rage to scores of sadness.
Warzone – Cause For Alarm/ Warzone – Review December 1, 1995 Within seconds, you know you’re dealing with old school NYHC.
God – Appeal to Human Greed – Review December 1, 1995 Imagine if Rage Against the Machine decided to jump on the “extended dance remix” bandwagon and it actually sounded good.
Gem – Hexed – Review December 1, 1995 Gem are the all-star game of Ohio indie rock, with members of Cobra Verde, Prisonshake, and Death of Samantha. Hexed shines more often than not.
