CIV – Set Your Goals – Review

September 1, 1995

From the seasoned scenester’s pep talk for the aspiring young mosher, to the obligatory dis on the trouble-starters who spoil the fun, it’s all here.

Smile – Maquee – Review

September 1, 1995

They carve themselves a comfortable niche between Nirvana and the crunchy, pleasant unmemorability of Seaweed.

Asphyxia – Optimum Wound Profile – Review

September 1, 1995

Mix Hell Awaits-era Slayer with Nine Inch Nails and Neurosis, add potent doses of their own secret poison to the mix, and swallow it all in one huge gulp.

Paul Weller – Stanley Road – Review

September 1, 1995

I’ve always been impressed that the ex-frontman of mod punk legends, the Jam and Style Council, can wind up sounding like Eric Clapton and actually pull it off.

Alice Donut – Pure Acid Park – Review

September 1, 1995

They catchy, popacid punk tunes and slur the instruments for maximum tweak. The album that the Butthole Surfers should have made before going industrial.

Moonshake – The Sound Your Eyes Can Follow – Review

September 1, 1995

Crazy, schizophrenic, caught up in a neverending trip.

Hot Damn! – High Heels Slut – Review

September 1, 1995

Raw & nasty punk cumming straight from the garage. Zebra (ex-Butt Trumpet), Kristina, Bob Lee (Clawhammer), and Allen Clark (ex-Lazy Cowgirls).

Worst Case Scenario – Review

September 1, 1995

Zero melody, sloppy crunch guitars that chug punk rock riffs like a ’78 Trans Am whose engine is still going strong long after the frame has rusted out.

The Wolfgang Press – Funky Little Dreams – Review

September 1, 1995

A very interesting mish-mosh. In one sense, it’s a Nick Cave-ish moodgroove, but in another way altogether, there’s techno dance music beneath it all.

Gwen Mars – at the Rat – Review

September 1, 1995

It’s tight, accessible heavy rock that combines the sounds of Seattle and L.A., for people who are long over the “grunge” thing.
