6L6 – at The Loud Music Festival – Review

June 1, 1996

Devastatingly loud. I found the singer/bassist’s apparent ego trip obnoxious, but they were better than a lot of hardcore/metal bands I’ve seen.

1000 Mona Lisas – New Disease – Review

May 1, 1996

No faux British accent, no green hair, and no teen angst found here. Just 14 punchy rave-ups, including a blistering cover of Paul McCartney and Wings’ “Jet.”

Hagfish – at Pearl Street – Review

May 1, 1996

They kicked my sorry rear-end with a combination of punky bravado and sassy stage delivery when I saw them live.

Lustre – Review

May 1, 1996

Lustre are dangerously close to ripping off a number of bands. The last thing the world needs is a Goo Goo Dolls cover band.

Mystery Machine – 10 Speed – Review

April 1, 1996

Mystery Machine invites the listener in with thick, warm guitars – a welcome change from the usual beat-you-senseless approach.

Ben Folds Five – at Pearl Street – Review

March 1, 1996

The trio sounded even better live than on record. The songs have a more aggressive energy, and the soaring three-part harmonies outshone those on the album.

March 1, 1996

Jeremy Toback is a major talent, a singer-songwriter working within the pop context, but blessed with a sense of grace and style all his own.
