Crankcase – “Capitol Hill Murder Suicide Pact” – Review

April 1, 1995

From the great liberty state of Pennsylvania comes slow pop that make ’80s bands such as Trixster and Warrant sound new and exciting.

Crab – Review

April 1, 1995

Great four-track recording. The singer has a passionate voice and all the musicians are top notch.

Come – String 10″ – Review

April 1, 1995

String would make a cool instrumental EP even without Thalia Zedek’s strong, disillusioned vocals, which are the icing on the cake.

Combine – Norfolk VA – Review

April 1, 1995

Resplendent with that quaint regional twang, this power trio plays hard, fast and loud.

Big Hair – Pickle Farm – Review

April 1, 1995

Big Hair hits you like a whirling punk Turkish dervish. A wild frenzy of bass, fiddle, and nasal, screaming vocals a la Primus that maintains a frenetic energy.

Beowulf – 2 Cents – Review

April 1, 1995

The songs range from indie rock to metal to snarly Pistols-esque punk with a bit of Jello vocal jiggle. The production spotlights the siner and ignore the band.

Bender – Funny Kar – Review

April 1, 1995

Funny Kar cruises like a beach-bound mobile loaded with guitar hooks and juiced on melody. Some songs delve into power pop, they come out smelling of punk.

Aversion – Fall From Grace – Review

April 1, 1995

Aversion could be that band. They have the mighty instrumentals, speedcore drumming, and Hetfield snarl to pull off the rampaging “Waco Jesus.”

Half Japanese – Fire In The Sky – Review

April 1, 1995

Half Japanese are a genre in and of themselves, so everything they’ve done has been unmistakably them, and the flavor doesn’t change much over the years.

St. Chimerae – with Little A at T.T. the Bear’s – Review

April 1, 1995

You could say they’re a Goth/funk band with a little bluegrass thrown in, but their track on the Soon compilation, “Midnight,” comes across like Vegas Goth.
