Anthrax – Stomp 442 – Interview

October 1, 1995

An interview with drummer Charlie Benante

Luna – Penthouse – Review

July 1, 1995

Luna is the brainchild of former Galaxie 500 frontman Dean Wareham. Most of the songs continue in Luna’s established vein of Velvet Undergroundy pop.

Clutch – Review

May 1, 1995

The album takes some time to grow on you, but when it does, it’ll stay with you. There are quotables enough to fill a review.

Moonpools and Caterpillars – Lucky Dumpling – Review

May 1, 1995

Not surprisingly, this is cute pop with a female singer. Kinda dippy, kinda trippy, infectiously energetic.

Better Than Ezra – Deluxe – Review

March 1, 1995

This Louisiana trio is best described as “Toad the Wet Sprocket and the Gin Blossoms co-headline for a Muzak benefit.” Deluxe is as sappy as sappy gets.

Clouds – Thunderhead – Review

March 1, 1995

Thunderhead journeys through everything from cotton candy power-pop to dismal, droning angst.

Orange 9mm – Driver Not Included – Review

February 1, 1995

They may bring up a few associations in your auditory memory, but they’ll do it with the force and wickedness of an M-1 tank.

Kyuss – Welcome to Sky Valley – Review

November 1, 1994

These are four dudes who have touched the heavens and honed their wares in the fires of psychedelia and acid rock.

Violent Femmes – New Times – Review

October 1, 1994

We heard it all ten years ago, except back then it seemed vital, not a virtually soulless paint-by-numbers pastiche.

Compulsion – Comforter – Review

June 1, 1994

Their music is adrenaline-soaked pop punk. Noisy, catchy, throaty, energetic and rather indistinguishable from scores of other fine bands.
