Candy Striper Death Orgy – Review

December 1, 1993

A few death roars and fun deathly gimmicks, but mostly they have the monster mosh madness of Kreator, Hallow’s Eve, Possessed, and the humor of S.O.D.

Alice In Chains – Jar Of Flies – Review

December 1, 1993

The vocals rarely break a sweat. The soothing despair laps like gentle waves against the occasional wah-soaked guitar or mournful voice box statement.

The Fighting Cocks – Review

December 1, 1993

From the inspirations of gaudy glam and drunken debauchery comes a band that doesn’t suck: The Fighting Cocks. A long time Boston rock ‘n’ roll favorite.

Scratch – Review

December 1, 1993

The demise of Boston’s punk gods Gang Green left many shuffling their feet, dreaming of daze gone by. The Stilphen Bros. are back with an attitude.

Plush – Review

December 1, 1993

A simple name, a recognizable logo, a lot of spirit and energy in the music, photogenic members, and a gutsy, versatile, friendly and magnetic female vocalist.

Mutha’s Day Out – My Soul Is Wet – Review

December 1, 1993

For a band with the average age of 17, they are intense lyrically and technically competent and pull off a rich, full, and diverse sound.

Mr. Right – Review

December 1, 1993

Mr Right is a catchy rock band playing tongue in cheek, swagger in step and smile on face. Without resorting to cliches, they play fun bar room rock ‘n’ roll.

High Defiance – with Creepshow Mary at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1993

The bassist is a funk madman accompanied by hip-hop beats and DJ scratches. The two guitarists duel like Maiden, chug like Metallica. All members sing/yell.

G. Love & Special Sauce- with Groove Butcher at The Middle East Cafe – Review

December 1, 1993

The guitarist/singer’s buttcheeks dance on the chair, threatening to take a spill at any moment. Totally smooth funk like the Chilis on a chill trip.

Creepshow Mary – with High Defiance at The Rat – Review

December 1, 1993

The singer had the presence of Anthony of the Chili Peppers and a signature rant/rap. Amazingly tight for a band so young, without a demo to their name.
