Mind Science Of The Mind – Review

August 1, 1996

Part Shudder To Think, part Dambuilders, part Helium, all blowing your mind from here to kingdom come.

Far – Tin Cans With Strings To You – Review

August 1, 1996

With songs about mass murderer love affairs, selling out, and other cheery topics, Far actually seems to have some real ideas about their music.

Extra Fancy – Sinnerman – Review

August 1, 1996

Rocket Fuel Is The Key – Consider it Contempt – Review

June 1, 1996

This band is dissonant, angry, hard, and tight – a “power trio” of nuclear capabilities, as it were. Yes, I say. Yes.

Die Krupps – Odyssey of the Mind – Review

June 1, 1996

The album is a heavy, growling, electrified, guitar-crunch fest. And Jurgen Engler’s got a great voice.

Johnny Can’t Read – Death By Guitar – Review

May 1, 1996

Throttle – Review

April 1, 1996

They’re loud, angry and fast, but weird, too. The chords don’t sound right. They’ve also got this epileptic start-and-stop thing, tight as your little sister.

Slughog – Grit! – Review

April 1, 1996

Slughog’s Grit! thunders and rumbles along like some unholy juggernaut, like a shoggoth with a vengeance, like a 747 landing without wheels.

March 1, 1996

Where were you when I was driving down the coast at 3 AM, a mobile mass of coffee jitters and nicotine breath, chasing the burnt-out sunrise?
