Engine Kid – Angel Wings – Review

April 1, 1995

Angel Wings has an abrasive melody comparable to Therapy? and later period Neurosis.

Darkthrone – Transylvanian Hunger – Review

April 1, 1995

The music is cataclysmic, and the atmosphere within the eerie chords, back-from-the-dead vocals, and cymbal-laden hyperspeed drumming is genuinely frightening.

Creedle – Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars – Review

April 1, 1995

While they have surely studied the Crimson bible, they fall short of being a King Crimson for the ’90s. Not for lack of trying.

Come – String 10″ – Review

April 1, 1995

String would make a cool instrumental EP even without Thalia Zedek’s strong, disillusioned vocals, which are the icing on the cake.

Half Japanese – Fire In The Sky – Review

April 1, 1995

Half Japanese are a genre in and of themselves, so everything they’ve done has been unmistakably them, and the flavor doesn’t change much over the years.

Threadwaxing Space Live – Review

April 1, 1995

In the space of one album, this gives us a key for understanding the creative efforts of an entire scene.

Tribe 8 – Fist City – Review

April 1, 1995

The music on Fist City isn’t any better than okay. Tribe 8 used to actually be fun, when they were more squeaky and grrrly and not all serious.

Timco – Friction Tape – Review

April 1, 1995

Very good lyrics and a certain rhythmic sincerity are what shine through the somewhat humdrum format and make Timco’s brand of “sadcore” especially addictive.

Soilent Green – Pussysoul – Review

April 1, 1995

Venomous anger articulated well on a musical canvas, with free-form time changes and switching of vocal styles.

The Queers – Surf Goddess – Review

April 1, 1995

The Queers effectively marry the Beach Boys to the Ramones, and they rule.
