Overwhelming Colorfast – Sourdough – Review

June 1, 1995

Overwhelming Colorfast is captured here as close to live-in-your-living-room as you can get. Power pop at it’s finest.

Sydra – with Supermodel at T.T. the Bear’s – Review

June 1, 1995

Hard, loud, noisy and fun. Sydra has that post-grunge, noisy rock sound that is, for me at least, hard to pinpoint.

Supermodel – with Sydra at T.T. the Bear’s – Review

June 1, 1995

Drinkin’ beer, makin’ jokes, makin’ faces – this band was fun and energetic. Kinda twangy too. Had a bit o’ rockabilly in it; is this what they call cow punk?

Truck Stop Love – How I Spent My Summer Vacation – Review

May 1, 1995

The solid rock songs ought to get radio play and the hillbilly transitions ought to keep people on their toes.

Pell Mell – Interstate – Review

May 1, 1995

This instrumental collection moodily shifts from one focus to another as effortlessly as clouds drift across a brilliant blue sky.

INBLU – Sleep Well Patrons of the Arts – Review

May 1, 1995

An interesting blend of ambient art rock and slick pop craft. The hooks are subtle, but long-lasting. The production is fantastic.

Young American Records, Newbury Sound Studio, producer Drew Townson, and 13 Boston bands get together to bring us a wide-ranging compilation.

Stress Magnets – These Are My Boys – Review

April 1, 1995

Utilizing the Nirvana-esque sub-pop harmonies more than all-out punk energy, their humor and mock-rock bravado make up for the mediocre production.

Pretty Mighty Mighty – Ugly – Review

April 1, 1995

Well-crafted indie pop that uses soothing harmonies, swaying grooves as well as choppy timing and bursts of discordant guitars. Ethereal and abrasive.

Jasper and the Prodigal Suns – Everything is Everything – Review

April 1, 1995

Following the five-song Cherrydisc EP, Are You Read/People Get Ready, comes this 12-song live mix of jazz, funk, rap, and Caribbean groove.
