Overdose – Progress of Decadence – Review

November 1, 1994

Brazil not only produced Sepultura, it produced Overdose. The two bands began at the same time, but Overdose has only recently made it to American ears.

Scatterbrain – Mundis Intellectualis – Review

October 1, 1994

Musical proficiency and composition have increased, along with the heaviness factor, and their wit and sense of the ribald has sharpened since Scamboogery.

Green Jelly – 333 – Review

October 1, 1994

A higher degree of writing than on Cereal Killer. Playability has increased along with the production, enabling the songs to stand alone without the videos.

Corrosion of Conformity – Deliverance – Review

October 1, 1994

And speak it does, in angry, disenfranchised chords and haunting vocals. COC have been called “the Black Sabbath of the nineties,” and rightly so.

Rippopotamus – with Chucklehead, John Monopoly at Local 186 – Review

October 1, 1994

These guys were very tight and very funky. My only problem with this band lies in the tight leash they keep on the horn section. Let those horns loose!

John Monopoly – with Chucklehead, Rippopotamus at Local 186 – Review

October 1, 1994

Possessing one of the tightest drummer/bass combinations I’ve yet seen in a local band, John Monopoly completely blew my mind.

Chucklehead – with John Monopoly, Rippopotamus at Local 186 – Review

October 1, 1994

This band has no leash on their horn section. They rip. The drum/bass connection was earthy and solid. The gorilla costumes they came out in were a nice touch.

Gus Jerusalem and the Konja Gum – Part 1 – Fiction

October 1, 1994

Gus Jerusalem awoke to find himself being attacked by a killer hangover. To make matters worse, he was also being attacked by a knife-wielding lunatic.

Kiss My Ass – Classic Kiss Regrooved – Review

September 1, 1994

This compilation does little in the way of tribute to this genre-defining band.

Fates Warning – Inside Out – Review

September 1, 1994

From the first, anthemic notes of “Outside Looking In” to the drum work on “Monument,” the disc has plenty of audio tidbits for the avid music dissector.
