Grover – at T.T. the Bear’s – Review

Since the disbanding of Let’s Active in 1989, it’s been difficult for Angie Carlson to find a musical outfit that worked for her. Then she formed Grover.

Grover – My Wild Life – Review

July 1, 1995

My Wild Life is strong and pleasing. If I’m forced to choose, though, “Yeah, I’m Dumb” and “Hole In My Eye” are the most infectious.

This soundtrack doesn’t add any memorable new material, but the recycled oldies will sound like fresh tracks to the young ‘uns.

Mad Love – Review

July 1, 1995

The film is already out of the theaters and VHS-bound. Well, it’s still a good sampler of underground alternapop.

July 1, 1995

The Offspring “Smash It Up.” Michael Hutchence goes solo from INXS. Sunny Day Real Estate gain exposure. And Flaming Lips was hilarious when set to Jim Carrey.

July 1, 1995

Ruby Red is another engaging disc that will succeed in the dorms, while “Special Ed” and “Drive-By Kiss” are sure to court the radio airwaves.
