Cadillac Tramps – Review

March 1, 1996

Combining unreleased material, live in-studio recordings, and remixes of singles from previous albums, this is a perfect wrap-up album.

Secret Agent S.O.U.N.D.S. – Review

February 1, 1996

Secret Agent S.O.U.N.D.S. is a compilation of 13 surf bands doing all the hits of cloak and dagger. One of my favorite surf discs to come around in a long time.

Das Klown – Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha – Review

September 1, 1995

A lot like California punk rock, circa 1980, of the fast, snotty, juvenile variety, such as Circle One or the Adolescents.

HFL – “The Way It Is” / “I’m Dying Inside” – Review

September 1, 1995

“I’m Dying Inside” stands out as the killer track with its vicious hardcore punk attack that packs a punch and is ready to explode.

Manic Hispanic – The Menudo Incident – Review

July 1, 1995

If the songs sound familiar, it’s because they’re covers. If the musicians sound familiar, it’s because they’re from Cadillac Tramps, The Grabbers, and Joyride.

Welt – Better Days – Review

July 1, 1995

Young, energetic and with tongue planted firmly in cheek, Welt grin through their debut of punk anthems.

Aversion – Fall From Grace – Review

April 1, 1995

Aversion could be that band. They have the mighty instrumentals, speedcore drumming, and Hetfield snarl to pull off the rampaging “Waco Jesus.”

The Grabbers – The Way I Am – Review

April 1, 1995

Noisy punk from Huntington Beach that’s best when left simple. Sex Pistol’s sneer like a corkscrew in the head.
