Alphabet Soup – Layin’ Low in the Cut – Review March 1, 1995 Alphabet Soup’s hip-swinging bass riffs, sizzling sax, and smoothly rapped vocals pull the listener in hook, line, and sinker.
Adam Ant – Wonderful – Review March 1, 1995 Adam Ant’s unique vision still spans from the sublime to the ridiculous. The album’s patchy, but worth picking up, if only for the kooky lyrics.
Dumptruck – Days of Fear – Review March 1, 1995 Having strong ties with both Boston and Texas, it’s not surprising to hear guitar-oriented pop, Boston style, mixed with Texan twang.
Down By Law – punkrockacademyfightsong – Review March 1, 1995 Down By Law is punk as fuck. They write well-crafted pop/punk songs that lean more toward the punk side, by choice.
Dirt Merchants – Scarified – Review March 1, 1995 From the first tortured chords of “Bullfight,” you can feel the raw energy blasting off of the silicon. They switch moods like a schizophrenic girlfriend.
Dillon Fence – Living Room Scene – Review March 1, 1995 A real mixed bag from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Some songs fail to hold one’s attention, others are irresistible.
Death – Symbolic – Review March 1, 1995 Symbolic displays more changes in style and line up, including massive Gene Hoglan (ex-Dark Angel) now on drums.
Deadsunn – Review March 1, 1995 Mountains of guitars, a dash of techno/industrial keyboards, and some dark lyrics – a winning combination.
Culture of Violence – Review March 1, 1995 Standard metal with dumb lyrics and horrendous production, but there’s something in here that could be something, given time.
Emperor – In The Nightside Eclipse – Review March 1, 1995 In the Nightside Eclipse, the band’s long-awaited debut, has established itself as black metal’s long-overdue benchmark.
