Supersuckers – Supersuckers / Tenderloin split – “Mother Mary” / “Leave This Town” – Review

February 1, 1997

Supersuckers sound like, well, the Supersuckers. I think they were sober when they recorded this one.

Pernice Brothers – “Jimmy Coma” / “Monkey Suit” – Review

February 1, 1997

The Pernice Brothers play lazy jangle pop, like a hybrid of Scud Mountain Boys and Beck fighting his way through a Xanax stupor.

Velocity Girl – Gilded Stars and Jealous Hearts – Review

June 1, 1996

Each release has been a higher plateau of heart-string plucking, rockin’ sentimentality that gets more difficult to compare with anyone’s sound but their own.

Zumpano – Look What the Rookie Did – Review

December 1, 1995

Friends of Dean Martinez do instrumentals where you can almost hear the sagebrush rolling past the saloon just before s barfight breaks out.

Supersuckers – Sacrilicious – Review

September 1, 1995

With 14 songs of corruption, their tongues are planted firmly in-cheeks and their chops are mighty. Masters of punked-up, powerchord-soaked rock ‘n’ roll.

Pond – The Practice of Joy Before Death – Review

June 1, 1995

A deeply personal musical work which deserves to outlive its genre of fairly mainline alterna-rock.
