Hamlet Idiot – Tango Palace – Review December 1, 1996 They take an avant-rock approach to music, recalling an unhealthy blend of DC Post Hardcore, Pussy Galore, and NYC’s Knitting Factory on a bad night.
Zeke Fiddler – “Half-Baked” / “Half-Inflated” – Review May 1, 1995 Laid back Half Japanese-style stripped down rock. Good songwriting and semi-interesting vocals keep it from being too boring.
Tizzy – “New Jersey” – Review May 1, 1995 Cute girl punky pop with lots of bass and happy guitar. Upbeat and catchy. Yup, these guys are fun.
DMZ – Live at the Rat ’76 – Review May 1, 1995 DMZ could be called Boston’s answer to the Stooges or Dead Boys, but it’s not necessary to do so because they have no problem standing on their own.
Scud Mountain Boys – Dance The Night Away – Review May 1, 1995 Perfect for those who want to find some balance in their CD collection. The lead and backing vocals are reminiscent of Lou Reed and John Cale.
Push Kings – Slow Down, This is Not Monte Carlo – Review May 1, 1995 You can file this one night next to your old Pavement, Sebadoh, and Swirlies singles. Keeping stoner lo-fi honest and alive.
Silver Jews – Silver Jews / New Radiant Storm King – Review April 1, 1995 “The Sabellion Rebellion” is a charming, minimalist slacker tune, and “Old New York,” is spoken/sung poetry set to a lounge music background.
