Chug – Metalon – Review

July 1, 1997

Vampy vocals from Norma O’Malley paired with the monotone voice of bassist/vocalist Alf Danielson set to mood-swing music.

Chisel – Set You Free – Review

July 1, 1997

There are flashes of pure genius on Set You Free, but right when you sink deep into a sparkling moment of sonic bliss, the moment dissolves into generic pop.

Blithe – Verse Chorus Verse – Review

July 1, 1997

When people in Sweden get bored, we here in the U.S. benefit because we get bands like the Cardigans, Fireside and now, Blithe.

All Over Me Soundtrack – Review

July 1, 1997

A nice cross-selection of currently celebrated moody pop bands. And just the right choices to support All Over Me, a poignant and perceptive coming-of-age tale.

Gravity Kills – Manipulated – Review

June 1, 1997

It’s tempting to dis Gravity Kills for trying to be all things to all people. Problem is, they’re good at all of it.

Flipp – Review

June 1, 1997

Mike Ness’ vocals with John Lydon’s sneer, set to Cheap Trick, geek chic style tunes, mix in the dirty glamour and glitz of New York Dolls and you get Flipp.

An interview with Alice Genese and Tia Sprocket

The Lemonheads – Car Button Cloth – Interview

May 1, 1997

An interview with Evan Dando

Orbit – Libido Speedway – Review

May 1, 1997

Orbit’s kinda poppy, but not sappy and sweet and earnest or anything. They’re sort of slick, but in a sleek way, not over-produced or anything.

Knapsack – Day Three of My New Life – Review

May 1, 1997

Smart, enigmatic lyrics delivered with vocals both imploring and roaring, ultimately erupting into jagged explosions of roaring discord and sonic overflow.
