Congo Norvell – The Dope The Lies The Vaseline – Review

September 1, 1996

Not without its finer points, but overall, the dope has too many seeds and not enough resin, and the lies aren’t big enough to lengthen Pinocchio’s proboscis.

Timco – Friction Tape – Review

April 1, 1995

March 1, 1995

Milk Cult – Burn or Bury – Review

March 1, 1995

November 1, 1994
