Sugar Ray – Lemonade and Brownies – Review

May 1, 1995

Looping samples, strolling fat man bass, mountains of metal guitars, and track upon track of screaming vocal with the hip-hop beats weaving it together.

Moodcrush – with Notary Public at The Middle East Cafe – Review

May 1, 1995

The singer’s got a wild range. Solos galore and powerchords strung together with charming hair tosses. Rich harmonies and loud, chunky guitars.

Souls At Zero – A Taste For The Perverse – Review

May 1, 1995

Souls at Zero is notorious for well-crafted groove blasted heavy and crunchy. Brad Divens’ howl is a trademark from Wrathchild to Wrathchild America releases.

Pet UFO – My Name is Esther Cohen – Review

May 1, 1995

A constant motormouth of distorted guitars and Souci Broskowitz’s hurt/pissed-off vocals make Pet UFO one of my personal favorites.

Pet UFO – “Pigeon Heaven” – Review

May 1, 1995

Both songs show Souci’s great lyrical skill by hitting you right where it hurts. Loud, girl punk with great lyrics and a lot of heart.

Jason & The Scorchers – A Blazing Grace – Review

May 1, 1995

Roadhouse rock is not exactly my favorite, but with these moonshine-running, petal-to-the-metal rockers, I can overlook the whiskey-soaked ballads.

Death – Symbolic – Review

April 1, 1995

They’re from Florida, play mind-numbing heavy tunes, grind like stompcore, rip through double-bass-thundering speedcore, and have progressive instrumentals.

Beowulf – 2 Cents – Review

April 1, 1995

The songs range from indie rock to metal to snarly Pistols-esque punk with a bit of Jello vocal jiggle. The production spotlights the siner and ignore the band.

Bender – Funny Kar – Review

April 1, 1995

Funny Kar cruises like a beach-bound mobile loaded with guitar hooks and juiced on melody. Some songs delve into power pop, they come out smelling of punk.

Aversion – Fall From Grace – Review

April 1, 1995

Aversion could be that band. They have the mighty instrumentals, speedcore drumming, and Hetfield snarl to pull off the rampaging “Waco Jesus.”
