Lustre – Review

May 1, 1996

Lustre are dangerously close to ripping off a number of bands. The last thing the world needs is a Goo Goo Dolls cover band.

Life After Death – Review

May 1, 1996

Hard rock with muscle, melody, harmony, and attitude. The former drummer of Armored Saint teams up with members of Warrior. Why do we need more of this stuff?

Chisel – 8 AM All Day – Review

May 1, 1996

Ted Leo’s voice plays around in the upper registers that Pete Shelley can’t quite manage these days. The fluid rhythm section cracks like Eton rifles.

Cannibal Corpse – Vile – Review

May 1, 1996

George Fisher (of Florida death metal powerhouse Monstrosity) is a better vocalist than Chris Barnes, but the band has opted for a more Slayer-like approach.

Buttsteak – Men Who Pause – Review

May 1, 1996

So quirky they’re bewildering, except all the songs sound the same. Nonsensical dadaist lyrics, spiffy harmonies, knowin’ how to work the same song structure.
