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.

Broken Hope – Repulsive Conception – Review

May 1, 1995

Brutal grindcore with few frills. Twisted lyrics, demon roars, mean guitars… the whole package. Their cover of Twisted Sister’s “Captain Howdy” is wild.

Satchel – EDC – Review

May 1, 1995

The majority of this album is Seattle groove rock reduced to its most dull denominator.

Kix – Show Business – Review

May 1, 1995

15 years and still kickin’ it out. They haven’t changed a bit. They still play AC/DCish, laced with rockisms galore. Some great lyrics in there.

Dirty Looks – One Bad Leg – Review

April 1, 1995

A little more mid-tempo then I remember, but nostalgia and six years of shots could have affected that. Live versions of “Oh Ruby” and “Cool From the Wire.”

Combine – Norfolk VA – Review

April 1, 1995

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

The Grabbers – The Way I Am – Review

April 1, 1995

Noisy punk from Huntington Beach that’s best when left simple. Sex Pistol’s sneer like a corkscrew in the head.

The Abyss – The Other Side – Review

April 1, 1995

Diabolical Scandinavian metal. Thirty minutes of super-high velocity metal with no keyboards.

Strapping Young Lad – Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing – Review

April 1, 1995

There should be a warning sticker: “Use caution when listening. Contents may rip you a new asshole and leave you turned inside out like a discarded sock.”

Red Aunts – #1 Chicken – Review

April 1, 1995

With 14 songs in 23 minutes, it’s pointless to do a song by song, and the distort-o-rama kinda runs together into one glorious ass-ripping grrr blur anyway.
