The Invalids – Punker Than Me – Review July 1, 1995 Again, very Screeching Weasel-esque. Fast and furious, with whoa-whoa harmonies and songs about how stupid people are.
Squirtgun – Shenanigans – Review July 1, 1995 Far from tired punkpop, this is so fast and catchy you may hurt yourself. Clever lyrics to boot.
Speedball – Do Unto Others, Then Split – Review July 1, 1995 Big engines, loud guitars, and lots of beer. These guys have the natural charisma and high-octane sound to be rock stars.
Skiploader – Anxious, Restless – Review July 1, 1995 Sometimes they’re quick tempoed, sometimes they repeat the chorus over and over again, and sometimes they find that feedback works better than chords.
Shelter – Mantra – Review July 1, 1995 From rap-to-melodic-core to all-out speedkills punk to whoa-whoa hardcore; Shelter does it beautifully.
Arsenals – Stomp – Review June 1, 1995 ad production, worse songs, and few hooks. There are plenty of unsigned ska bands who could “stomp” these guys into the ground.
Amanda’s Dirty Secret – Pluto – Review June 1, 1995 Amanda Jost’s throaty vocals and Al Brust’s fuzzed-out guitars make this indie pop punk release one of the best in the area.
Alligator Gun – onehundredpercentfreak – Review June 1, 1995 Produced by ALL-of-famers Bill Stevenson and Stephen Egerton, it’s no surprise that this punk-pop collection is flawless. Smooth and rawly energetic.
All – Pummel – Review June 1, 1995 Pummel is ALL’s first release on Interscope. The second with Chad, and the first ALL release that I’ve liked from end to end since Dave Smalley split.
Trick Babys – Player – Review June 1, 1995 While Trick Babys combine all the tasty flavors of bawdy and squealing female vocals and punky zest, they also have side dishes of raunchy mid-tempo blues.
