Pie – with Capsize 7, Karate, Blonde Redhead at the Middle East Cafe – Review November 1, 1995 They did an excellent job with the tension/release thing – NOISE, NOISE, NOISE, melody, NOISE, melody. It worked.
Blonde Redhead – with Capsize 7, Pie, Karate at the Middle East Cafe – Review November 1, 1995 Blonde Redhead completed an excellent night of distortion, discord, and weird tuning.
The Wynona Riders – J.D. Salinger – Review October 1, 1995 Fast, thrashy, fuzzy, distortion-heavy, feedback-laden guitar, speed of light timekeeping, and snarly, sneering, screaming vocals.
Little John – Derailer – Review October 1, 1995 Packed with consistently exuberant, catchy, romping tunes with refreshingly simple lyrics. Don’t hate them because they’re tuneful.
Bad Trip – Buzzy – Review September 1, 1995 Bad Trip wear their bleeding heart on their sleeve, with lyrics that address every social ill in the book. ou can tell the lyrics were written from the gut.
aMiniature – Murk Time Cruiser – Review September 1, 1995 Clear and crisp, but not slick; roaring pop-punk, big on fuzzy, feedback-laden guitar and long on melody.
Not Rebecca – Twin City Obituary – Review September 1, 1995 The playing is far from sloppy, and saying that they have energy is like saying The Great Wall of China is a bunch of rocks on top of each other.
Milf – Antidope – Review September 1, 1995 Milf rocks hard, with blasts of feedback, fuzzy slashes of guitar and potent, full-throttle vocals.
Ramones – at Avalon – Review September 1, 1995 Trustworthy, brave, loyal and true, the Ramones are chaotic, yet dependable; in your face, but not angry.
Excuse 17 – Such Friends are Dangerous – Review July 1, 1995 Snarly, cranky, stripped-down sound with high energy and clattering intensity, although a couple of the pieces seem slightly scruffy and aimless.
