Static 13 – Review

April 1, 1996

Vocalist Ari David sings with the powerful passion of one who is heavy of heart. Loud, but sincere, Static 13 aren’t just random noise.

Sink – Review

April 1, 1996

This is funky, bare-bones pseudo-garage rock; the kind you used to hear your cool, chain-smoking, older brother play in the basement with his friends.

Dahlia’s Dead – Review

April 1, 1996

The cover of the tape (which earns high marks for production value) depicts a she-fiend rising from her grave. They sound like Swank, only heavier.

Cyber-Tec – Review

April 1, 1996

Featuring ex-members of Cubanate and Front 242, the pulsating rhythms of Cyber-Tec remind me of such veteran maestros as Ultravox, Visage, and Classix Nouveaux.

Cradle of Thorns – Download This – Review

April 1, 1996

The alternative to everything. If I had to cite the influences, I’d say Clawfinger, Faith No More, Beastie Boys, Body Count, and Metallica.

Con – Lucky 13 – Review

April 1, 1996

Toss together equal amounts of NIN, Ministry, Ultraviolence, Love & Rockets, Rick Wakeman, and Devo, and you’ve got a psycho stew.

Paper Kuts – #1 – Review

April 1, 1996

Not a big debut, actually, this is a half-size cut and paste ‘zine. It has a little bit of everything.

Annexx – #6, #7 – Review

April 1, 1996

A Texas-based ‘zine that covers national and local (Texas) bands. Issue #6 interviews Archers of Loaf, No Use For A Name, Strung Out, and Dr. Strange Records.

A Few of My Favorite Things – Ten Things That Really Bug Me – Column

March 1, 1996

Music retail outlets that advertise themselves with the word “Records” in their title, but don’t actually carry vinyl.

Jakkpot – “Just One Fix” – Review

March 1, 1996

Want to know what it feels like to wake up with a huge welt from an anvil falling on your head, but you were too drunk to remember? This record is for you.
