Pere Ubu – Ray Gun Suitcase – Review

September 1, 1995

Pere Ubu used to be (c.1975) a collection of strange noises gathered under loose pop trappings. Ray Gun Suitcase is interesting pop with strange noises.

Thumper – No One Left The Disco Alive – Review

September 1, 1995

The crunch is heavy, the ska light, and the horn section cooks. Maybe I’m biased, being an Operation Ivy fan.

The Hellions – Holy Smokes, Amanda’s Dirty Secret, Heavens to Murgatroid, Scissorfight in Kittery, Maine – Review

September 1, 1995

Alas, they ran out of beer before The Hellions took to the stage, and we had been sitting and standing in the sun for about five hours.

Scissorfight – Holy Smokes, Amanda’s Dirty Secret, Heavens to Murgatroid, The Hellions in Kittery, Maine – Review

September 1, 1995

These guys are heavy. Intense, screaming, post-punk anger, low and churning, and a singer who looks like he’d be more comfortable on a tractor than a stage.

Heavens to Murgatroid with Holy Smokes, Amanda’s Dirty Secret, Scissorfight, The Hellions in Kittery, Maine – Review

September 1, 1995

Heavens to Murgatroid did play power pop – and did it in such a way that I was immediately bored.

Hissanol – 4th and Black – Review

July 1, 1995

Hissanol is Andy Kerr (iving in Amsterdam) from NoMeansNo and Scott Henderson (living in Canada) from Shovlhed. They sent 4 and 8 track tapes back and forth.

Ron Geesin – Land of Mist – Review

July 1, 1995

19 tracks of sonic landscaping, too short to assume the dubious “ambient” label, yet so inwardly oriented and self-contained, “songs” doesn’t work either.

Eurofetish Video – Review

July 1, 1995

Whatever our reviewers do to themselves or each other behind closed doors is their own business as long as the review comes in on time and isn’t all sticky.

Love Handles Soundtrack – Review

July 1, 1995

I think it has something to do with a 500 lb. rockabilly guitarist’s life. High octane surf and indie-rock wanna be. The prize is in the dialogue excerpts.

Slughog – at Sarah Good Erotic Fashion Show at Bill’s Bar – Review

July 1, 1995

Songs that were as tight as Newt Gingritch’s sphincter. Two basses, good fashion sense from the guitarist, and a freight train of sound bowled us over.
