Super Deluxe – Famous – Review

October 1, 1995

At the their best, they’re like Redd Kross with many pedals – distortion or otherwise. At their worst, they’re like bad Redd Kross with said pedals.

Sun God – EFA – Review

October 1, 1995

The album EFA takes you right to the active volcano’s orifice, smears ritual body paint all over you, and prepares you to make a human offering to the Sun God.

Kepone – Skin – Review

October 1, 1995

Imagine Alice in Chains (vocal harmonies) butt-fucking a speedier Big Black, not out of queerness, but just because they were there.

Spain – “Dreaming Of Love” – Review

October 1, 1995

Sleepy, bass-heavy, droney blues with quietly infectious male vocals. Kind of like a long, satisfying yawn.

Zeni Geva – Freedom Bondage – Review

October 1, 1995

Japan’s Zeni Geva are twisted artists and are twice as caustic and psycho as any group in the Western Hemisphere who thinks they’re scary.

Ipecac Loop – Ex – Review

October 1, 1995

Almost entirely instrumental, using synths and sampling to create an evil, eerie, Middle Eastern-type motif. Capable of inspiring more maleficence than Slayer.

Witchy Poo – Mixed Metaphor – Review

October 1, 1995

21 folks from the Olympia, WA scene contribute to this 7″. The result is a glorious mish-mosh of indie-ish sounds, incoherent in the best sense of the word.

Violet Ray – “Secret” – Review

October 1, 1995

Swirling, feminine, under-produced stuff from Seattle. It’s kind of hard to listen to, but they have a mysterious, untouchable quality about them.

Gem – “Sheep” – Review

October 1, 1995

The all-star game of the Cleveland, Ohio’s underground scene includes members from Prisonshake, Death of Samantha, Cobra Verde, and the Four Coyotes.

Strange Notes! – A Germs Cover Comp – Review

October 1, 1995

All the songs sound like they could’ve been written by the bands covering them. The Germs had much to do with paving the way for modern hardcore’s existence.
