The Rugburns – Taking The World By Donkey – Review

December 1, 1995

I wrote with a black grease pencil in a crabbed and illegible script the lyrics to the first three songs I heard. It filled both sides of the sheet.

Head and Leg – In Your Dreams – Review

December 1, 1995

In Your Dreams is a sound collage made up of ambient and musical noise interspersed/intertwined with shrieked and sighed and spoken words.

Joe Satriani – Review

November 1, 1995

Filled with amazingly beautiful vocals and heartfelt lyrics that shine through despite the low-fi production. There are no guitar solos either.

Fledgling – Review

November 1, 1995

Singer/songwriter/guitar player Eileen Rose pushes Fledgling full-tilt through a straight-ahead rock ‘n’ roll album.

Pusher – Problems – Review

November 1, 1995

Sgt. Pepper meets Lenny Kravitz for a drink in San Francisco. They cop some greenbud on Haight Street and, after rolling a fatty, go out cruising for girls.

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.

Stiffs, Inc. – Nix Nought Nothing – Review

June 1, 1995

Some very up-tempo pop punk. It’s catchy. I don’t want to think that it’s a recording for people who dig Green Day, but it’s kinda hard not to.

Silverchair – Frogstone – Records

June 1, 1995

If I didn’t know Silverchair came from Australia in 1995, I would swear they were Seattle circa 1990. Sounds like Pearl Chains Alice Jam.

Marshall Chapman – It’s About Time… – Review

June 1, 1995

Recorded live at the Tennessee State Prison For Women, this CD offers a pretty standard dose of bluesy rock with a distinct country flavor.

Drop City – A Revolution of Purely Private Expectations – Review

June 1, 1995

Beautiful guitar overlays, and the lyrics are clever even if the vocals are blandly catchy. During the stranger tracks, we glimpse their creativity.
