The Revelators – Versus: The Prozac-Poppin’ Whinin’ Sissies – Review

October 1, 1996

Fortunately, there are still stompers like the Revelators whose recordings sound like their equipment was submerged in battery acid.

Sterling – “Everest Eyes” – Review

October 1, 1996

Every forgotten filler track on an ’80s pop or wimp metal album, infused with Pavement-like slacker noise, finds a foster home on Sterling’s 7″.

Speedy J – G Spot – Review

Best known for his remixes of other’s tracks, Speedy J is a techno artist/DJ who, in trying to move away from the rave scene, has sworn off DJing in clubs.

Snuff – Snuff Said – Review

October 1, 1996

While Flibbidydibbidydob is a cool novelty item with its share of strong songs, it’s Snuff Said… whose absence makes any pop punk collection incomplete.

Snuff – Flibbidydibbidydob – Review

Mark Brodie & the Beaver Patrol – Shreddin’ and Surfin’ – Review

October 1, 1996

Cruising in the pipeline of the current surf instrumental revival. There’s no attempt at a new twist, just something to remind you how vital this music is.

Los Hornets – “Barrymore” – Review

October 1, 1996

The A-Side is instrumental, and if you don’t listen carefully, you’ll think it’s badly executed surf, not the abstract art statement that it is.

AFI – AFI / Heckle split – Review

October 1, 1996

Heckle pays homage to the Clash like their coverboy counterparts Rancid, with gruffer vocals. The other tracks play the same with more speed and less melody.

Emily’s Sassy Lime – Desperate, Scared, But Social – Review

October 1, 1996

They render the riot grrrl ethic to understatement. Cutesy garage that won’t offend anyone but sound engineers was never the point.

Blitz – Voice of a Generation – Review

October 1, 1996

This 1982 LP belongs near the top of the list of the best punk albums of all time alongside those of Fear, the Misfits, DKs, Sex Pistols, X-Ray Spex, etc.
