Supple – Puppet’s Night Out – Review

March 1, 1996

Supple really tore me up, like Pinhead in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. Hooks shooting out of nowhere, hitting their mark and tearing at those soft spots.

Stevie Salas – Back From The Living – Review

March 1, 1996

Some dippy ballads mixed amid guitar hero acrobatics and wild production tricks (think toned-down Gibby Haynes). Hyped as Lenny Kravitz meets Matthew Sweet.

Spectrum – #3 and #4 – Review

March 1, 1996

Spectrum covers heavy music, both national and New England-based. Most of the writers really know their subject. The comic, Spiked, by Paul Griffin, is great!

Ant – #1 and #2 – Review

March 1, 1996

Long live rock ‘n’ roll! This music ‘zine is devoted to the rock/metal/glam that was in vogue in the mid-to-late ’80s and keeps rockin’ in the mid-’90s.

No Empathy – No Empathy/Zoinks! split – Review

March 1, 1996

The production is more indie guitar rock than your usual stadium punk fare, a needed change of pace. No Empathy sounds more like the Knack than NOFX.

Alien Faktor – Desolate – Review

March 1, 1996

Feedback creates notes to be linked together into a semblance of melody. Sound waves roll and respond, communicate and coalesce, and the result is Desolate.

McRackins – In On The Yolk! – Review

March 1, 1996

McRackins consistently pump out top-notch pop/punk brimming with such hooks and humor that most bands would’ve been famous and resting on their laurels.

Sacred Reich – Heal – Review

February 1, 1996

On Heal, Sacred Reich performs as expected: Slow, heavy chugging guitars offset by bursts of triplets on the kick drum and searing guitar solos strewn lavishly about.

Fingerprint Records Sampler – Review

February 1, 1996

Three songs by each by Ramona Silver, Bob., Hezze, and Iain. It shows the diverse tastes of the label, as well as the bands themselves.

Mallrats: Back in the Day – Fiction

February 1, 1996

“Ya know,” Chaz began with that charming and thoughtful smirk that got him laid almost as much as me, “I do believe those two females are following us.”
