Still Home – “Junior” – Review July 1, 1995 Still crankin’ out hard edge rock ‘n’ roll. The guitar sound (par for producer Drew Townsend) is large, crunchy. These guys are killer live.
Stereolab – The Groop Played Space Age Bachelor Pad Music – Review July 1, 1995 Electric as a thundershower, delicate as baby’s breath. Laetitia Sadier sings with a sprite-like voice in both French and English,
Stereolab – Peng! – Review July 1, 1995 Electric as a thundershower, delicate as baby’s breath. Laetitia Sadier sings with a sprite-like voice in both French and English,
Stepmother Nature – Dane – Review July 1, 1995 They sort of sound like R.E.M. or bands of that ilk. Not bad.
Squirtgun – Shenanigans – Review July 1, 1995 Far from tired punkpop, this is so fast and catchy you may hurt yourself. Clever lyrics to boot.
Splintered – Paper and Libedo – Review July 1, 1995 Lo-Fi and spelled badly, I hope they’re making some archaic literary joke.
Speyemusic – Review July 1, 1995 A talented grunge-punk band. They’re tight, competent, and chock full of potential. I’d like to see them live.
Speedball – Do Unto Others, Then Split – Review July 1, 1995 Big engines, loud guitars, and lots of beer. These guys have the natural charisma and high-octane sound to be rock stars.
Space Needle – Voyager – Review July 1, 1995 Comparable to the sedative of Spacemen 3 if they weren’t so experimental, suggestive of Front 242 with a distortion pedal, or a more introspective Stereolab.
Sonic Youth – Screaming Fields of Sonic Love – Review July 1, 1995 The compilation takes us backward in time, slowly stripping the varnish off their sound as we approach their ’82 debut on the last of 17 tracks.
