Kyuss – Welcome to Sky Valley – Review November 1, 1994 These are four dudes who have touched the heavens and honed their wares in the fires of psychedelia and acid rock.
Kings of Feedback – Open Your Ears – Review November 1, 1994 Great blend of samples and sarcasm from this Who’s Who of Boston Rock.
Jawbreaker – 24 Hour Revenge Therapy – Review November 1, 1994 Jawbreaker is a three-piece out of San Francisco, punk by definition although their lyrics are above the standard for that genre.
Foreskin 500 – Manpussy – Review November 1, 1994 While duh-rock guitars plod and solos rip, there are preachers prophecizing, porno stars humping, and warbling horns that sound like elephants with indigestion.
Waiting Kates – Kates Been Ate – Review November 1, 1994 Smart, stylish alternative pop from this South Shore outfit; reminiscent of Liz Phair, but not all that.
Zutrau – Review October 1, 1994 Like New Order with Primus’ bassist. Quality stuff from this SirenSong side project.
What’s In The Fridge? – Losing Necessary Cohesion – Review October 1, 1994 Combines hardcore with pop into a strong, clean production that makes up for their dumb name.
Violent Femmes – New Times – Review October 1, 1994 We heard it all ten years ago, except back then it seemed vital, not a virtually soulless paint-by-numbers pastiche.
Jabberjaw – No. 5: Good To The Last Drop – Review October 1, 1994 A compilation of 17 of the most palpitation-inspiring scenesters around (Jawbox, Girls Against Boys, Seaweed, Hole, Beck, etc.) and for a good cause.
