Ipecac Loop – Ex – Review

October 1, 1995

Almost entirely instrumental, using synths and sampling to create an evil, eerie, Middle Eastern-type motif. Capable of inspiring more maleficence than Slayer.

Witchy Poo – Mixed Metaphor – Review

October 1, 1995

21 folks from the Olympia, WA scene contribute to this 7″. The result is a glorious mish-mosh of indie-ish sounds, incoherent in the best sense of the word.

Son of Lucy – Review

October 1, 1995

The singer has the attitude, but not a strong enough voice, to compliment the fine-tuned feedback rock of the rest of the band.

Violet Ray – “Secret” – Review

October 1, 1995

Swirling, feminine, under-produced stuff from Seattle. It’s kind of hard to listen to, but they have a mysterious, untouchable quality about them.

Grither – All Smiles – Review

October 1, 1995

Guitars. Lots of ’em. Buzzing, whirring, thudding, clanging and coughing over every bit of this disc, giving a little needed juice and texture.

Grinch – Eden – Review

October 1, 1995

When the vocals step out of the throaty any-note-will-do approach, the melodies are haunting and gorgeously ugly.

Gem – “Sheep” – Review

October 1, 1995

The all-star game of the Cleveland, Ohio’s underground scene includes members from Prisonshake, Death of Samantha, Cobra Verde, and the Four Coyotes.

Yellow Pills – Volume 3 – Review

October 1, 1995

A series of records devoted to power pop, which essentially means catchy, guitar-based, American-sounding pop tunes. It’s 21 of those songs – in a row.
