Lickity Split – Volume Won – Interview

September 1, 1997

An interview with Brien Stewart (vocals), Chuck Roberts (drums), Chris Condayan (bass), and Brian Baker (guitar)

Spahn Ranch – Architecture – Review

July 1, 1997

Athan’s vocals are great. He doesn’t use any effects and carries a tune like a champ. I think it’s the music. It’s not bad, it’s just lacking.

Leather Strip – Retrospective – Review

July 1, 1997

This CD has eleven classic tracks that probably leave out a lot of your personal favorites but keeps them dance hits coming.

Evil’s Toy – XTC Implant – Review

June 1, 1997

If you enjoyed other Evil’s Toy releases (or ’80s industrial in general), this won’t disappoint. It’s catchy, but not as dark as their last release.

Vaughn – Identity Crisis – Review

June 1, 1997

I’ve heard the Nine Inch Nails demos, and they sucked. Derek Vaughn’s music isn’t that bad, but you wouldn’t know that from the production.

Noise Unit – Drill – Review

June 1, 1997

Noise Unit have a God-given right to sound like Front Line Assembly. This is more mood music than something to dance to, but the sounds are inviting.

Mentallo and the Fixer – Centuries – Review

June 1, 1997

This EP release is very strong, and I’d recommend it to anyone who likes Front 242 and Front Line Assembly rip-off projects. Whoops! Did I say that?

The Newlydeads – Review

May 1, 1997

As industrial, it’s perfectly catchy, perfectly dark, perfectly gaudy and glammy. The Newlydeads prove that Goth and industrial are the new cock-rock genres.

Flesh and Boredom in Vegas – Part Two – Column

May 1, 1997

KC: I’m the best there is, so everyone should come down and see me.
CB: (sarcastically) You’re not biased at all, are you?
KC: Yes, I am. I love women.

Evil Mothers – Spider Sex and Car Wrecks – Review

May 1, 1997

An amazingly varied album that’s surprisingly short on clichés. This works only if the listener is able to give the record the chance it deserves.
