Kittywinder – “Wishing Well” / “Narrow Canal” – Review

December 1, 1994

Kittywinder combines 3 female voices that mesh like a sing-along slumber party; not too pretty, with just enough yelping to offset the jangly, garagey guitar.

The Cucumbers – Where We Sleep Tonight – Review

December 1, 1994

The wife-and-husband team first attracted attention in the late ’80s, but are now utilizing Deena’s sugary vocals and icy clarity to voice a darker depth.

The Black Watch – Amphetamines – Review

December 1, 1994

Their songs contain a bit of noisy guitar, and some sweet violins and violas, without being over-orchestrated.

Generation – Brutal Reality – Review

December 1, 1994

Brutal Reality is tortured mid-tempo to thrashy rage, littered with the sampled debris of a faithless, technology-driven world.

Mary Beats Jane – Review

December 1, 1994

These guys play power chords. Vocalist Peter Dolving screams his voice raw on topics such as relationships, sex, politics, and revolution.

Prelude to a Lick – Column

December 1, 1994

This issue: Heavy. Take a look at the table of contents. No pop. All rage-filled whatever. It’s about time to listen to a little ska or something. I’m kidding.

B-Thong – Skinned – Review

December 1, 1994

B-Thong stomps like a sledgehammer on pavement – slow, heavy and utterly destructive.

22 Brides – Review

December 1, 1994

While on the surface it usually coasts prettily along, sooner or later, a vocal snags your ear, or a powerful guitar jam gives you a start.

Sky Cries Mary – at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1994

Not dull enough to be ethereal, not pushy enough to be techno, Sky Cries Mary tap into pagan vibe and speak in tongues of psychedelia.

Zutrau – at the Soon Release Party at The Middle East Cafe and T.T. the Bear’s Place – Review

November 1, 1994

Zutrau’s vocals in his self-titled band are its weakest asset, although “Burning Bridges” is complex and eccentric, and, again, the baseline stands out.
