Pangloss – Review November 1, 1994 Crushing power pop punksters out of Amherst, MA. Sound like a fun band to see live.
OBE – Open Your Ears – Review November 1, 1994 Great blend of samples and sarcasm from this Who’s Who of Boston Rock.
Motor Home – “Whole In My Head” – Review November 1, 1994 A Chicago-based trio that could jam with any Boston pop band any night of the week. Contrast sweet male/female melodies with some background chorus howling.
Kings of Feedback – Open Your Ears – Review November 1, 1994 Great blend of samples and sarcasm from this Who’s Who of Boston Rock.
Waiting Kates – Kates Been Ate – Review November 1, 1994 Smart, stylish alternative pop from this South Shore outfit; reminiscent of Liz Phair, but not all that.
Zutrau – Review October 1, 1994 Like New Order with Primus’ bassist. Quality stuff from this SirenSong side project.
What’s In The Fridge? – Losing Necessary Cohesion – Review October 1, 1994 Combines hardcore with pop into a strong, clean production that makes up for their dumb name.
Violent Femmes – New Times – Review October 1, 1994 We heard it all ten years ago, except back then it seemed vital, not a virtually soulless paint-by-numbers pastiche.
