Nick Zedd: Steal This Video – Review

June 1, 1995

During the ’80s, one of the most hated filmmakers in New York was Nick Zedd. Steal This Video is a collection of five of his short films.

Lydia Lunch: Malicious Intent – Review

June 1, 1995

Lydia Lunch was the underground’s favorite diva during the late ’70s and early ’80s, and deservedly so. But you’d never be able to tell from this film.

Crash Worship – with Quintron at the Rat – Review

June 1, 1995

Fireworks. Detuned bass. Distorted, violent synth noise. Every song lasts for 20 minutes, building to an orgasmic conclusion, and you wish they lasted longer.

Foetus – Null – Review

May 1, 1995

Foetus albums have always been better when they’ve had space to develop; this EP is no exception. Good as these songs are, the full-length Gash is better.

Cows – with Slughog, Chokebore at Local 186 – Review

May 1, 1995

Ah, now THIS is what rock ‘n’ roll should be. They play a great brand of schizophrenic sludge-punk of which I am particularly fond.

Chokebore – with Slughog, Cows at Local 186 – Review

May 1, 1995

This band floats somewhere between the rather similar genres of pop, punk, and noise. To their credit, they had a lot of energy.

Slughog – with Chokebore, Cows at Local 186 – Review

May 1, 1995

One of Boston’s best bands. The last song was the most energetic, with Firestone kicking his guitar around the stage to the tune of two basses being mauled.

Season To Risk – In A Perfect World – Review

April 1, 1995

Reviewers have called them everything from punk rock to grunge to noise to whatever Rollins is supposed to be, and they’re dead wrong.

Harthouse – Axis of Vision – Review

April 1, 1995

It’s two CDs of a kid and his Mac, but this pablum is candy to brain-dead ol’ me.

The Black Box – Review

March 1, 1995

You won’t find a better representation of Wax Trax! than Revolting Cocks’ “Attack Ships on Fire,” with Ministry and Front 242 on stage with Trent Reznor.
