Lunachicks – Pretty Ugly – Interview

July 1, 1997

An interview with singer Theo Kogan

Nerdy Girl – Twist Her – Review

November 1, 1996

“You fuck like a man/ but you act like a boy/ and I’m annoyed” are the first words uttered. I’m embarrassed to say how many times I’ve sung this line in public.

Marilyn Manson – Antichrist Superstar – Review

November 1, 1996

Currently, MM is doing that industrial-metal thing that’s all the rage. That’s all fine and good. Sometimes it works. MM’s crack at the genre is average.

Incredible Force of Junior – Let the World Fall Apart – Review

October 1, 1996

Fuzzy indie pop jangly as a silver bracelet. In “Walrus,” the chick screeches like one of my aunts after too much chardonnay-in-a-box.

Team Dresch – Captain My Captain – Review

September 1, 1996

Team Dresch fuses the personal and the political into one ass-kicking powerhouse.

Sleater-Kinney – Call the Doctor – Review

August 1, 1996

More complex than your average RG band. Most of the songs have a call-and-response between the two guitars and drumming that includes a cowbell or something.

Bikini Kill – Reject All American – Review

August 1, 1996

The goose-pimpled rage of the songs and the sadness tucked between them still exists, but what’s different is who’s singing.

Sluts For Hire – The Happiest Band on Earth – Review

June 1, 1996

Do you like rollicking, superfast songs that give you the fuzzies? No? Then FUCK YOU!

Tori Amos – Boys For Pele – Review

March 1, 1996

There are no instant singles or clear pop hooks, but baby, I got a shiver…

Lucky Me – Glue – Review

February 1, 1996

Despite being a perfectly good band, Lucky Me can’t stay with eerie beauty or outbursts of freakish energy. They stick with an annoyingly muddy middle.
