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.

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.

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.

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.
