Snuka – Snuka Bloody Snuka – Review

March 1, 1998

Chloe Sweeney stomps and slithers all over the songs like bitch-in-a-bad-mood, spitting venom on everything and everything she comes into contact with.

Lickity Split – Volume Won – Interview

September 1, 1997

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

Steel Miners – Irony – Review

February 1, 1997

Blue-collar throwbacks to the guys who slaved in the mills and pits all day and then threw back shots all night. They’re characters in Springsteen songs.

The Spandex Experiment – Punk Bands Reviving 80’s Metal Sweetness – Review

December 1, 1996

With very few exceptions, the bands here don’t even perform their cover with competence, and most are not even close. Most just play the song a bit faster.

Ff – We’re #1 – Review

September 1, 1996

In a world of generically good pop/punk bands, Ff stands apart as one of the most consistently decent bands I can’t think of.

Armed and Hammered – Review

February 1, 1996

16 songs by eight bands. Three of these bands are top-notch. Three are pretty damn good and two… well, I squeezed ’em and didn’t like what came out.

Tub – Why I Drink – Review

November 1, 1995

Sometimes turning it up with an almost-trying-to-sound-catchy-but-not-quite-cutting-it hook, at other times putting me to sleep with draining guitar solos.

Antimony – Phantom Itch – Review

September 1, 1995

On Phantom Itch, they expand on the Circus Lupus form, and play rolling post punk in the style of the Holy Rollers and Fugazi. But Antimony is better.

Pet UFO – My Name is Esther Cohen – Review

May 1, 1995

A constant motormouth of distorted guitars and Souci Broskowitz’s hurt/pissed-off vocals make Pet UFO one of my personal favorites.

Pet UFO – “Pigeon Heaven” – Review

May 1, 1995

Both songs show Souci’s great lyrical skill by hitting you right where it hurts. Loud, girl punk with great lyrics and a lot of heart.
