Best of the NY Underground Film and Video Festival – Review

May 1, 1995

If your taste runs to the bizarre , or just completely bored by generic Hollywood wheat germ lately and could use a good kick in the pants, check this out.

Duran Duran – Thank You – Review

May 1, 1995

Thank You pays homage to Elvis Costello, Public Enemy, Sly and the Family Stone, and the Temptations, plus hidden classics by Led Zeppelin and Lou Reed.

Tipili – Christmas Vacation EP – Review

May 1, 1995

Lo-Fi, bedroom pop that sounds like the vocals are recorded at the wrong speed. Nice guitar work and honest lyrics. For a crappy recording, this is nice.

Dripping Goss – “Blowtorch” / “Sisters Purple Chopper” – Review

May 1, 1995

Dramatic and choppy and heavy, but not too much to speak of song-wise. “Sister Purple Chopper” is kinda Clutchish vocally and has some big drums.

Thurston Moore – Psychic Hearts – Review

May 1, 1995

Thurston Moore put out a solo album and it sounds like… the guitarist from Sonic Youth. Predictable, but I like it.

DMZ – Live at the Rat ’76 – Review

May 1, 1995

DMZ could be called Boston’s answer to the Stooges or Dead Boys, but it’s not necessary to do so because they have no problem standing on their own.

Thorn – Bitter Portion – Review

May 1, 1995

Thorn has elements of punk, grind, and doom, all subtly compacted into a well-crafted, eerie, electronic/organic tribal mix.

Deceased – The Blueprints for Madness – Review

May 1, 1995

Deceased play good, simple death. No real insanity or bizarre tricks, just 11 heavy and powerful tunes that will please the grindcore ear.

Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments – Bait and Switch – Review

May 1, 1995

Loud, abrasive, sneery and noisy punk like the Germs and the Sonics. Great guitar work and vocals like the American punk scene of the late ’70s.

Dandelion – Dyslexicon – Review

May 1, 1995

This is not the ’80s garage rock band I remember from last year. Evidently, they sold enough records to make a monstrous guitar album.
