Big Wig – unMerry Melodies – Review

July 1, 1997

Straight outta Jersey, Big Wig has that much sought after NOFX/Fat Wreck Chords sound and style. They sound as energetic and fun as the Bouncing Souls do live.

Automatic – Transmitter – Review

July 1, 1997

Transmitter is Album-Oriented Rock in the sense that all the songs are pleasant, but nothing really stands out.

30 Foot Fall – Acme-143 – Review

July 1, 1997

“Feel Like Morrissey” is obviously worth checking out, complete with clap track, a whistling organ riff, and a vocal snarl Ben Weasel’d appreciate.

Tristitia – Crucidiction – Review

July 1, 1997

Blending Gothic sorrow, doomy darkness, and elements of black metal, Tristitia stands apart from even the pioneers of genre bending. They’re slower.

Last Man Standing – Review

June 1, 1997

Similar to Reservoir Dogs, everyone dies. Well, except the dames Willis sends on their way before the bloodshed turns the dusty roads to mud.

2 Days In The Valley – Review

June 1, 1997

Sure, 2 Days in the Valley is a good movie, but Pulp Fiction is a great movie.

Ferd Mert – All This and Morons – Review

June 1, 1997

Remember early Screeching Weasel records with the track listings in tiny type so they’d fit from top to bottom? Ferd Mert do. 37 punk ditties here.

Xysma – Lotto – Review

June 1, 1997

Opening with a thin-sounding Clutch-popping rhythm, the buried-in-the-mix vocals seem to be singing throatily, but it’s really hard to tell.

WOCC – Human Gene Therapy – Review

June 1, 1997

What do you get when you blend sensuously dark, Alice in Chains-esque vocals with heavy groove bass, trippy/funky guitars, and a funky-ass drummer? A buzz.

Entombed – Review

June 1, 1997

This self-titled release collects a few of the gems found only on EPs and the split 7″ with New Bomb Turks.
