Craw – Lost Nation Road – Review February 1, 1995 Littered with stuttering, disjointed rhythms, noisy, dissonant guitar lines that occasionally lean towards metal, and screamed and growled vocals.
Naked Rhythm – Fatbox – Review February 1, 1995 Naked Rhythm have alternative pop radio written all over them and sound like a fun live band. Phil Varone, drummer of Saigon Kick, produced.
Charles Manson – Live at San Quentin – Review February 1, 1995 Live at San Quentin is creepy: The lone guitar in a jail cell, poorly played, a feeling of resignation mixed with rebellion pervades it.
Nailed – Review February 1, 1995 Noisy, punky garage rock on a low budget. Of the three songs, the least annoying is “Los Angeles.” It’s charmingly useless, but kinda fun.
Certain Distant Suns – Happy on the Inside – Review February 1, 1995 Rich pop with poprock and danceable beats, but the sample loops and fuzzy choruses offset the INXS vocal style, giving it a distinctiveness.
Mudfoot – Review February 1, 1995 An excellent sleeve wasted by a pompous press release. File under Blind Melon.
Metropolitan Rage Warehouse – Stick It To The Man! – Review February 1, 1995 Metropolitan Rage Warehouse remind us what healthy youth should be doing – questioning, fighting ignorance, and flying in the face of convention and normality.
Lost Breed – Save Yourself – Review February 1, 1995 Similar to Hellhound mates, The Obsessed, Lost Breed trudges heavily along like a dinosaur through mud.
Bolt Thrower – …For Victory – Review February 1, 1995 Crushing everything in its path like a tank plowing blindly through friend and foe, Bolt Thrower is coming.
Lords of Acid – Voodoo U – Review February 1, 1995 There are thunderous guitars mixed in with throbbing percussion and squishing and squelchy keyboard sounds. And spicy lyrics by Lady Galore.
