Frumpies – Tommy Slich – Review May 1, 1995 Unsurprisingly, the Frumpies include Bikini Kill members. Get yourself a copy and you’ll wonder how you lived without it.
The Queers – Surf Goddess – Review April 1, 1995 The Queers effectively marry the Beach Boys to the Ramones, and they rule.
Couch – This Lifes EP – Review March 1, 1995 Sounds like Dead Kennedys strained through an old sock and played to you over the phone.
Rice – Fuck You This is Rice – Review March 1, 1995 This is the most pissed off thing I’ve ever heard, hands down.
Pansy Division – Pile Up – Review March 1, 1995 Pansy Division earn punk points in the present with hooky three-chord progressions and outrageous deadpan lyrics.
Big Rig – Expansive Heart – Review November 1, 1994 Big Rig sound like Operation Ivy ’cause some of the same forces are at work.
Avail – Dixie – Review November 1, 1994 Longevity is a good thing and all, but imagine what would happen if these guys progressed?
Screeching Weasel – How To Make Enemies… – Review November 1, 1994 How To Make Enemies is typical S.W. Ben sounds older, the band’s a little too tight, and the tempo’s slower. It’s this slowness that bugs me.
Pinhead Gunpowder – Jump Salty – Review November 1, 1994 Finally, all on one CD. All songs were previously released as the Fahizah and Trundle and Spring EPs, or as cuts on four compilations.
