WARP – Vol. 4 #3 – Review

February 1, 1996

A boarding mag (snow, skate, and surf) that does what it’s supposed to as a lifestyle publication. Informative interviews with Mike Watt and Clawhammer.

MRC – META/Morph – Review

February 1, 1996

Soulful vocals, pseudo-horns and funk rock paces give this song a Fishbone/Faith No More feel, with a touch of Zappa thrown in gratuitously.

All That – #7 – Review

February 1, 1996

Just about split down the middle between hardcore and hip-hop coverage. The magazine is run by the members of Dare to Defy, who also own Too Damn Hype Records.

Xanax 25 – Denial Fest – Review

February 1, 1996

Heavy, moody pop with crashing guitars. Jaik Miller’s vocals on “Scary Dream Fade” are so overwhelmingly raw they raised the hair on the back of my neck.

Julian Cope – 20 Mothers – Review

February 1, 1996

In the late ’70s, he was the erratic, acid-gobbling genius who piloted the Teardrop Explodes to worldwide stardom, rockstar excess, and subsequent implosion.

Moonwater – Invitation – Review

February 1, 1996

“Give” has that love-groove thang that makes for a great stoner anthem. Trip rock is still a reputable sound and Moonwater does it well.

Underflowers – Review

February 1, 1996

Underflowers lean toward the subtle, swaying strains of Dead Can Dance with the rich, male voice of J. Orazi contrasting the gossamer vocals of Mia Chesta.
