Goober Patrol – Vacation – Review

October 1, 1996

I guess we all have to face it: pop punk isn’t going away just yet. But these guys seem quite sincere and the songs are fun, so stop being such a snob!

Eels – Beautiful Freak – Review

October 1, 1996

It kicks off with a suite of five pretty impressive songs. The stop-start rhythms and kitchen-sink arrangement of “Novocaine For the Soul” are entertaining.

Coyote Shivers – Review

October 1, 1996

Coyote Shivers could quite possibly be Thunders reborn: The glitter glam-slam attitude and outfits and the smarmy sneer, at once inviting and dangerous.

Bison – Space Evader – Review

October 1, 1996

Bison digs deep into ’70s style anthemic rock. Their two most hard-hitting qualities are a blinding barrage of sweeping guitar riffs and vocal sonic attacks.

October 1, 1996
