Sickening Gore – Destructive Reality – Review February 1, 1995 Destructive Reality is powerfully produced and comes across as a dark meeting of Cannibal Corpse and Slayer.
Radiohead – My Iron Lung – Review February 1, 1995 Hitting styles from the hard pop of “Creep” to more jangly guitar rockers, Radiohead show they have more for us to feast on.
Quicksand – Manic Compression – Review February 1, 1995 Back with an intense edge, this follows in the blazing footsteps of their previous killer, Slip.
Dog Faced Hermans – Those Deep Buds – Review February 1, 1995 Alternative Tentacles is getting stateside recognition for yet another worthwhile band from overseas. Dog Faced Hermans add new dimensions to punk rock.
Dirty Rotten Imbeciles – D.R.I. Live – Review February 1, 1995 D.R.I. Live, recorded entirely live and unedited, captures the raw power of D.R.I. live at the Hollywood Palladium in November of ’92.
Pig vs KMFDM – Sin, Sex & Salvation – Review February 1, 1995 This five-cut EP reintroduces Pig (Raymond Watts) as a permanent member of KMFDM.
Dante’s Grin – Review February 1, 1995 This is disappointing, watered-down, mundane jangle pop. There’s talent here, but not in the writing.
Orange 9mm – Driver Not Included – Review February 1, 1995 They may bring up a few associations in your auditory memory, but they’ll do it with the force and wickedness of an M-1 tank.
National Razor – Shiver – Review February 1, 1995 Shiver is not half bad in the final analysis, and even at their worst, they’re still more listenable than, say, Christian Death.
Nameless – How Much Can You Take – Review February 1, 1995 Kinda Bosstones, more on the ska side. Good humor, vocals, great recording. Throw in some fun rap verses, and you got a great tape.
