Spiritualized – Pure Phase – Review March 1, 1995 A string section, harmonica, and various sound effects spice up their spiritual, lullaby rock ‘n’ roll.
Soulcrusher – Review March 1, 1995 The return of powermetal I can almost stomach, but the return of castrated men languishing in falsetto sends shivers of revulsion up my spine.
Sons of Elvis – Review March 1, 1995 Robert Plant vocals, Journey harmonies, maybe a bit of Van Halen. Boston drums. An Aerosmith riff now and again.
Solitude Aeturnus – Through The Darkest Hour – Review March 1, 1995 The guitars create that ethereal, doomed-existence-post-apocalyptic sound we felt during the world of the Reagan administration.
Smile – Maquee – Review March 1, 1995 Solid and quick tempos, garage-honest production, fat and fuzzy-as-fuck guitars which are still clear enough to be catchy, and harsh, cynical lyrics.
Shaw-Blades – Hallucination – Review March 1, 1995 Hallucination has an infectious vibe that is totally summer. Top down, shoeless and beach-bound with a cooler of beer and a few packs of butts.
Sentenced – Amok – Review March 1, 1995 Amok slows the tempo and explores more intricate melodies. Milka lets rip scaling solos, screeching harmonics, dreamy movements, and anthemic powerchords.
Scratch – “El Monstro” – Review March 1, 1995 Rockin’ powerpunk from Scratch. Chuck and Glen Stilphen of Gang Green and a dynamic singer named Todd Riggs.
Scanna Franna – Review March 1, 1995 Tight, under control, powered by solid grooves that will undoubtedly make you dance and cheer when your mind is filled with sound, smoke, and beer.
