Sheer Terror – Love Songs for the Unloved – Review July 1, 1995 Prong’s Tommy Victor produced this beast to sound like a Neanderthal’s mud fight. Clods of sound are lobbed and fast-balled at you.
Septic Flesh – Esoptron – Review July 1, 1995 The melodies of the guitars and keyboards add a particular atmosphere. Add the gruff and clean vocals of Spiros and you have the perfect melodrama.
Second Balcony Jump – Wired On Thought – Review July 1, 1995 Catchy rock with good grooves and sharp hooks. Gonna be great live; there’s a lot of energy in here.
Strapping Young Lad – Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing – Interview July 1, 1995 An interview with Devin Townsend
Alligator Gun – Onehundredpercentfreak – Interview July 1, 1995 An interview with vocalist/guitarist Bill Couture
Arsenals – Stomp – Review June 1, 1995 ad production, worse songs, and few hooks. There are plenty of unsigned ska bands who could “stomp” these guys into the ground.
Analogue – “Average Luck Charm” – Review June 1, 1995 It has the usual Lou Reed style mumbling, and would be fairly generic if not for some interesting stops and starts and surprise breaks.
Amanda’s Dirty Secret – Pluto – Review June 1, 1995 Amanda Jost’s throaty vocals and Al Brust’s fuzzed-out guitars make this indie pop punk release one of the best in the area.
Alligator Gun – onehundredpercentfreak – Review June 1, 1995 Produced by ALL-of-famers Bill Stevenson and Stephen Egerton, it’s no surprise that this punk-pop collection is flawless. Smooth and rawly energetic.
