Snuka – Review

March 1, 1996

Vocalist Chloe screeches like your little teenage sister with PMS on a bad hair day who’s out to get revenge on the boyfriend who just dumped her.

Black Light Rainbow – Review

March 1, 1996

Where were you when I was driving down the coast at 3 AM, a mobile mass of coffee jitters and nicotine breath, chasing the burnt-out sunrise?

Semisonic – Great Divide – Review

March 1, 1996

Pure pop with slightly retro dynamics and chord progressions. Production gives Great Divide a sound that is not just full and lush, but almost lavish.

Ruby – Salt Peter – Review

March 1, 1996

Lesley Rankine’s back-of-the-throat purr/growl reminds one of Björk; while her swaying high-pitch feels like Portishead.

Resolve – Jack – Review

March 1, 1996

Resolve are from upstate New York, but I would have sworn it was Minneapolis. Their sound owes a huge debt to the Replacements, Soul Asylum, and Hüsker Dü.
