The Halo Bit – Gravity (Is the Force That Always Drags You Down) – Review March 1, 1995 Noisy pop with thoughtful lyrics and rich, indie production.
22 Brides at T.T. the Bear’s – Review March 1, 1995 If I had heard on their CD some hint of the edge that this band has on stage, I would have liked the disc better.
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.
The Blue Up? – Review March 1, 1995 This record is ideal for those who lost faith in Stevie Nicks when they discovered her “fairy dust” came from Columbia.
The 6ths – Wasp’s Nests – Review March 1, 1995 Every song is pure, hummable pop music with basic structures and a staying power that etches permanent grooves into your memory.
Swank – “Superfly” – Review March 1, 1995 Malachite reforms (again) playing new roles and carrying a new banner: Swank. It’s slow, mean, heavy and pissed off.
Superbug – Pried – Review March 1, 1995 Mainstream rock with a country touch to the vocals. Distorted guitar tossed in at times, a trumpet and violin are used to break up the complete monotony.
Stuck Mojo – Snappin’ Necks – Review March 1, 1995 The guitars chug simply at times, backing up rapidfire machine gun rap, then they lunge into a slow, grinding slam to support the huge monster roar.
