Wang Chung – Everybody Wang Chung Tonight – Review

June 1, 1997

Any band that makes the Alarm look remotely acceptable in comparison is clearly in deep shit.

Just Say Noel – Review

December 1, 1996

Nothing terribly holly or jolly here, which is good ’cause misery, depression and weirdness are the kinda things that should be spread out throughout the year.

Manowar – Hail to England – Interview

December 1, 1996

Hog – Nothing Sacred – Interview

June 1, 1996

that dog – Totally Crushed Out – Review

May 1, 1996

Aimee Mann – I’m With Stupid – Review

March 1, 1996

A way with a music hook, a turn of phrase, and a voice that isn’t one of those damn coquettish Mary-Lou-thank-the-Lord voices so in MTVogue nowadays.

Boss Hog – Review

November 1, 1995

Boss Hog lies somewhere between Jon Spencer’s former and current projects, Pussy Galore, and the Blues Explosion’s fuzz-tone Stones-flavored funk grooves.

Sonic Youth – Screaming Fields of Sonic Love – Review

July 1, 1995

The compilation takes us backward in time, slowly stripping the varnish off their sound as we approach their ’82 debut on the last of 17 tracks.
