Cause For Alarm – Warzone – split – Review

December 1, 1995

Within seconds, you know you’re dealing with old school NYHC. Fast, simple, thoughtful, and fuck-the-system (in an intelligent way, of course).

National Lampoon’s Senior Trip – Review

December 1, 1995

A bit of indie rock, some punkabilly, some rap-a-long, and The Jayhawks. Digable tunes by The Muffs, Our Lady Peace, Matthew Sweet, 311, God Lives Underwater.

Skyclad – The Silent Whales of Lunar Sea – Review

December 1, 1995

Aren’t we progressive with the violin, samples, and more interludes, segues, and tangents than I care to go into. I’m impressed. No, I don’t like your band.

Saigon Kick – Devil In The Details – Review

December 1, 1995

Styles range from blues to ballads to swing to swagger to strut to an a cappella pretty-boy-barbershop intro to a NIN rip-off. Plus pianos, and Spanish guitars.

Merauder – Master Killer – Review

December 1, 1995

This one took a while to convince me it had hardcore influences. Jorge’s voice has more European death style than one expects from a street-smart NYHC band.

Leeway – Open Mouth Kiss – Review

December 1, 1995

Hard rock with thick bass, powerchord guitars, sissy vocals, and drumsticks a-twirling. The hardest the vocals get is when the singer needs to clear his throat.

Warzone – Cause For Alarm/ Warzone – Review

December 1, 1995

Within seconds, you know you’re dealing with old school NYHC.

Doc Hopper – Ask Your Mom – Review

December 1, 1995

Doc Hopper is a punk band that plays infectious, feel-good songs exploding with energy, wit, melody, and harmony. Much like the first few All albums.

Morgana LeFay – Sanctified – Review

November 1, 1995

The rock/metal vocals remind me too much of late ’80s hard rock. Enjoy banging your heads to this one on the way to the mall.

Jughead’s Revenge – 13 Kiddie Favorites – Review

November 1, 1995

13 Kiddie Favorites may not sell the units that the stadium punk bands do, but the songs sink in. They strike something deeper than pretty songs on the radio.
