Excuse 17 – Such Friends are Dangerous – Review July 1, 1995 Snarly, cranky, stripped-down sound with high energy and clattering intensity, although a couple of the pieces seem slightly scruffy and aimless.
Unwound – The Future of What – Review July 1, 1995 A monstrously depressing record. The noise punk itself will make your dog or cat leave the room, and your parents/roommates will dial your therapist.
Godheadsilo – Elephantitus of the Night – Review May 1, 1995 The recording is lo-fi as all hell, and Godheadsilo play with a plodding, focused aggression that is similar to the Melvins, though not nearly as coherent.
Mukilteo Fairies – Special Rites – Review February 1, 1995 Queencore hardcore punk rock from Olympia, WA. They’re very, very fast with a guitar sound as lovely as a car wreck.
