Kepone – at Pearl Street – Review

March 1, 1995

Bringing to mind the Minutemen and Tar, Kepone are explosive on stage. Even though most of the crowd was new to the material, it came across very well.

Tripe – Too Much Fond – Review

March 1, 1995

Tripe’s vocals are familiar, but clean and solid, not needing any trick effects to fatten out the sound, and the lyrics are intelligent and well-written.

Tom Verlaine – Dreamtime – Review

March 1, 1995

Dreamtime may be Verlaine’s most straightforward “rock” album, but, that said, it’s still a far cry from leather-clad-leg-on-the-monitor bombast.

The Cult – Review

March 1, 1995

Putting progressive, psychedelic, and hard rock influences in their stew, The Cult come out with balls and intelligence.

The Borg – Review

March 1, 1995

The assimilation has begun. Submit to clones from the 24th century, and become enveloped in the retro-minimalist sound inducement techniques.

March 1, 1995

This record is ideal for those who lost faith in Stevie Nicks when they discovered her “fairy dust” came from Columbia.
