James Kochalka Superstar – Review

October 1, 1995

There is no sane way to review this CD. 44 minutes of songs, covers, sounds and either madly witty lyrics, or stupid-as-hell stories/parodies. Or something.

Spacemen 3 – Singles – Review

October 1, 1995

Allow the glorious feedback of Sonic Boom to caress thine skin and alter thine eyes as the stumbling auditory brook splashes you to see the secrets of Now.

Witchy Poo – Mixed Metaphor – Review

October 1, 1995

21 folks from the Olympia, WA scene contribute to this 7″. The result is a glorious mish-mosh of indie-ish sounds, incoherent in the best sense of the word.

Son of Lucy – Review

October 1, 1995

The singer has the attitude, but not a strong enough voice, to compliment the fine-tuned feedback rock of the rest of the band.

Violet Ray – “Secret” – Review

October 1, 1995

Swirling, feminine, under-produced stuff from Seattle. It’s kind of hard to listen to, but they have a mysterious, untouchable quality about them.

Grither – All Smiles – Review

October 1, 1995

Guitars. Lots of ’em. Buzzing, whirring, thudding, clanging and coughing over every bit of this disc, giving a little needed juice and texture.

Gem – “Sheep” – Review

October 1, 1995

The all-star game of the Cleveland, Ohio’s underground scene includes members from Prisonshake, Death of Samantha, Cobra Verde, and the Four Coyotes.

Garbage – Review

October 1, 1995

Remember Curve? Well, chuck that wall of shoegaze haze, toss in a few funky beats (courtesy of producer Butch Vig) and you have a rough blueprint for Garbage.
