The Halo Bit – Gravity (Is the Force That Always Drags You Down) – Review March 1, 1995 Noisy pop with thoughtful lyrics and rich, indie production.
The Borg – Review March 1, 1995 The assimilation has begun. Submit to clones from the 24th century, and become enveloped in the retro-minimalist sound inducement techniques.
The Blue Up? – Review March 1, 1995 This record is ideal for those who lost faith in Stevie Nicks when they discovered her “fairy dust” came from Columbia.
The 6ths – Wasp’s Nests – Review March 1, 1995 Every song is pure, hummable pop music with basic structures and a staying power that etches permanent grooves into your memory.
Superbug – Pried – Review March 1, 1995 Mainstream rock with a country touch to the vocals. Distorted guitar tossed in at times, a trumpet and violin are used to break up the complete monotony.
Spiritualized – Pure Phase – Review March 1, 1995 A string section, harmonica, and various sound effects spice up their spiritual, lullaby rock ‘n’ roll.
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.
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.
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.
