Red Five – Flash – Review

November 1, 1996

Some would say that the foursome is just another Elastica/Veruca Salt wanna-be. But Flash also has the Breeders and the Pixies written all over it.

Fireside – Do Not Tailgate – Review

November 1, 1996

The band hails from Sweden and, appropriately, Do Not Tailgate is a collection of tunes that are brittle and harsh, with moments of stunning yet remote beauty.

Chin Strap – Strapped for Time – Review

November 1, 1996

With Strapped for Time, Chin Strap has amassed a collection of lighthearted, party-band, don’t take-life-too-seriously tunes for your sonic scrutiny.

Catherine – Hot Saki and Bed Time Stories – Review

November 1, 1996

A catchy collection of unapologetic indie-brand pop, Hot Saki… would probably survive quite nicely on its own, even without the Pumpkins’ added cachet.

Metal Molly – Surgery For Zebra – Review

October 1, 1996

They demand their inalienable right to levity and they pursue it with crazed creativity far beyond the bounds of decency.

Dirty Three – Horse Stories – Review

October 1, 1996

Instrumentals all, evocative of life’s elemental offerings: birth and death, love and loss, hope and despair, loneliness and longing, growth and decay.

Bison – Space Evader – Review

October 1, 1996

Bison digs deep into ’70s style anthemic rock. Their two most hard-hitting qualities are a blinding barrage of sweeping guitar riffs and vocal sonic attacks.

Kustomized – “Last Show” at the Middle East Cafe – Review

October 1, 1996

The “new” Kustomized played hard, fast, solid, and rough with more energy and risk-taking than I’ve ever seen with the previous lineup.

My Head – Endless Bummer – Review

September 1, 1996

With Endless Bummer, My Head has managed to pay homage to the past and at the same time, infuse the sound with their own punchy, vibrant take.

Love in Reverse – I Was Here – Review

September 1, 1996

If Psycho were remade and set in Mayberry, this is what you’d get. Or maybe if David Lynch made music instead of film, he’d make I Was Here.
