Dodgeball – Beans – Review September 1, 1996 They sound like a brattier, less musically mature Muffs. Demo quality and not worth your time.
No Knife – Drunk on the Moon – Review October 1, 1995 They move their music through multiple rhythm changes and dangerous mood swings. Background music for a zero-gravity stroll on the crater’s edge.
Nothing Rhymes with Orange – Review July 1, 1995 Charming garage sound with sweet/bitchy vocals, filled with humor. Tempos vary greatly, I’m reminded of Bong Water.
4 – The Past and the Present – Review July 1, 1995 Zep-style guitars, weird and wild drum sound, distorted, dissident, and choppy everything else. Renews my faith in innovative rock.
Overwhelming Colorfast – Sourdough – Review June 1, 1995 Overwhelming Colorfast is captured here as close to live-in-your-living-room as you can get. Power pop at it’s finest.
Chinchilla – “Batman” – Review June 1, 1995 An all-girl indie noise-pop band from San Diego who melodicize the oft-used Bikini Kill approach. It’s good even though it’s pretty standard.
