So You Wanna Be A Rock n’ Roll Compilation – Review

February 1, 1996

There are no punk pin-up boys to be found. Mostly older guys whose youthful vim was thrashed out of them more than a decade ago.

Nightfall – Athenian Echoes – Review

February 1, 1996

Sometimes they’re dizzyingly fast and use violins for extra percussion, at other times grinding and Gothic with eerie traditional Greek instrumentals mixed in.

Punk Rock Jukebox – Records

February 1, 1996

Twenty-three bands contribute one cover tune each of punk rock oldies that inspired them to creativity, or pure imitation, as the case may be.

Brouhaha – Review

February 1, 1996

Repress of a compilation released in ’91. Jawbreaker do a remix from their first demo. Monsula and Cringer (R.I.P.x2) cover each other’s songs, and Nuisance.

WARP – Vol. 4 #3 – Review

February 1, 1996

A boarding mag (snow, skate, and surf) that does what it’s supposed to as a lifestyle publication. Informative interviews with Mike Watt and Clawhammer.

All That – #7 – Review

February 1, 1996

Just about split down the middle between hardcore and hip-hop coverage. The magazine is run by the members of Dare to Defy, who also own Too Damn Hype Records.

Warzone – Cause For Alarm – Split – Review

February 1, 1996

Part of the charm of the older scene was that the kids could be so naive and yet play music with such heartfelt conviction and drive.

Urusei Yatsura – “Siamese” – Review

February 1, 1996

From the cover and band name, I was expecting either Japanese noise or Japanese girlpunk. What we have instead is Britnoisepop that bounces and bashes.

J Church – Nostalgic For Nothing – Review

February 1, 1996

Nostalgic For Nothing is a J Church singles compilation. Same shit; just as cool, if not more so.

J Church – Arbor Vitae – Review

February 1, 1996

J Church play unassuming, introspective in an out-and-about way, pop punk. The tempos fall between fast hardcore and straight rock like the Damned.
