Transmissions From The Planet Dog – Review

June 1, 1995

It ranges from techno dance to pure electronic psychodelia. Wide-eyed cosmo surfing and slick, neon-drenched shake-your-booty on two intro discs.

X-Cops – You Have The Right To Remain Silent – Review

June 1, 1995

If you didn’t know this was Gwar in police uniforms, you missed the joke. Parody-core that’s brutal, heavy, fast and addictive.

Smoking Popes – Born to Quit – Review

June 1, 1995

They have elements of Ramones and ’50s-style rock mixed amongst the pop love songs. Very Morrissey vocals on top of simple catchy pop rock.

Screeching Weasel – Kill The Musicians – Review

June 1, 1995

31 songs. Some are covers. Some were written to sound like other bands. Some songs were changed so many times, you might not even recognize the originals.

Saint Vitus – Die Healing – Review

June 1, 1995

These guys just keep getting older and uglier. The molasses guitars and mournful wailing seem to exist in stasis for all eternity.

Raw Power – Fight – Review

June 1, 1995

Walls of guitars, scorching solos, gruff Fight! vocals and one thwack of a snare drum. Great metalcore anthems like I haven’t heard in years.

Meshuggah – Destroy Erase Improve – Review

June 1, 1995

A cross between highly-advanced musician metal and death/thrash gone power metal. This’ll keep you on your toes, to say the least.

Die Toten Hosen – Love, Peace and Money – Review

June 1, 1995

This release is infectious, well-written and catchy as shit. It’s got the production quality of say, the Shocker soundtrack.

Die Krupps – Rings of Steel – Review

June 1, 1995

Maybe Die Krupps’ vision is still pertinent in 1995 because some of the tracks have the magic. Most don’t ,and should have been admired as stepping stones.

Crawl – Earth – Review

June 1, 1995

Experi-metal chords, roaring vocals, deathy subjects, crunching guitars and slow mosh to hyperspeed drumming – yup, this is neo-death.
