Motherless Children – Review May 1, 1995 One of the best drawing bands from the Lowell area. Energetic and well-crafted rock songs with good lyrics and catchy melodies.
Moonpools and Caterpillars – Lucky Dumpling – Review May 1, 1995 Not surprisingly, this is cute pop with a female singer. Kinda dippy, kinda trippy, infectiously energetic.
Monkey Tail – Review May 1, 1995 Shouting local rock with too much bass. I think I like this. Sarcastic and abrasive with no song titles. The Europe trading card was a nice touch.
Minxus – Pabulum – Review May 1, 1995 They create well-crafted songs with changes and flourishes. hey feel… like warm sandpaper (fine grain) when you take off your shoes on a summer’s day.
Menthol – Review May 1, 1995 Simple, grooving melodies with witty, sexy lyrics, occasionally reminiscent of Bowie-isms of the Stardust era.
Madder Rose – The Love You Save – Review May 1, 1995 Madder Rose rocked on last year’s Panic On. The title track, a classic Jackson 5 tune, is terribly put to shame, and from there, it only gets worse.
Jose Fist – Dry Drive – Review May 1, 1995 I had heard good things about this band, but all that went out the door after listening to ten seconds of the first song. What a piece of shit.
Jasper and the Prodigal Suns – People Get Ready – Review May 1, 1995 In actuality, the album sounds like G. Love and Special Sauce with a steel drum recorded in a Wheaties box.
INBLU – Sleep Well Patrons of the Arts – Review May 1, 1995 An interesting blend of ambient art rock and slick pop craft. The hooks are subtle, but long-lasting. The production is fantastic.
Green Apple Quick Step – Reloaded – Review May 1, 1995 I like Green Apple Quick Step when they play noisy, shitty, simple punk tunes. I hate Green Apple Quick Step when they play introspective acoustic ballads.
