Eat Static – Epsylon – Review

October 1, 1995

Begun as a side project of Ozric Tentacles that eventually eclipsed the primary band, Eat Static write good science fiction.

Earth Eighteen – Butterfly – Review

October 1, 1995

They evoke everything from Queen-like theatrics, to ambient vibes, to turn of the century stuff. Did I mention glam metal and Santana?

Slipstream – “Come Back” – Review

October 1, 1995

Ex-members of Spacemen 3, but I prefer Spiritualized. The simple Britpop elements of Spacemen, borrowing from McCartney’s side of the Beatles.

Kids (Soundtrack) – Review

October 1, 1995

Most of the songs are performed by Lou Barlow’s Folk Implosion. The exceptions are one Sebadoh tune, performed by Slint, and a rap ditty by Lo-Down.

Does The Word “Duh” Mean Anything To You – Review

October 1, 1995

Dart, 18th Dye, Magic Hour, Urusei Yatsura, The Bardots, Slipstream, Bardo Pond, Kirk Lake, and Disco Inferno contributes two tracks. There are no losers here.

Cub – Cub/The Potatomen split – Review

October 1, 1995

Cub have punk guitars baked with brown sugar and female vocals that snuggle up to you like your cat on a cold winter night.

Cosmic Psychos – Self-Totalled – Review

October 1, 1995

It takes three older guys from the more demented side of blue-collar territory to make music that feels like washing down Black Widows with a 12-pack of Shlitz.

Don’t Get Too Tense – Review

October 1, 1995

A very hip compilation that deserves a band-by-band. To start off, The Verve are everything you’ve heard about, and maybe a little more. Stylish heartache.

Boston Hardcore 89-91 – Review

October 1, 1995

Curtis of Taang! Records’ goodbye to Boston. Has the same quality and feel of the late ’80s NYC compilations, The Way It Is, and Where the Wild Things Are.

Chelsea – “We Dare” – Review

October 1, 1995

Another ‘zine-only release, this has three well-recorded live songs from this classic sing-a-long German punk band. It’s loud, fast, extremely catchy.
