Fifi – Sinkhole – Review

December 1, 1996

It’s fasterlouder coolass “stop/start/solo/stop/ start/etc.” I woulda loved this back when I thought Minor Threat was the greatest band on the planet.

The Exploited – Beat The Bastards – Review

November 1, 1996

They’re still postcard-quality punkers after 15 years, still unintentionally silly. Fast and loud as fuck, with a cretinous approach to leftist politics.

Jeff Dahl – French Cough Syrup – Review

November 1, 1996

Still punk after all these years, Jeff Dahl cranks out the raw, NY glam punk trash he’s been pumping out for years. From Arizona no less.

Spongehead – Review

September 1, 1996

SpongeHead, like Morphine, breaks the guitar/bass/drums mold, with the bass sounds provided by an electric sax played through a Ragnarok amp.

Epperly – Review

June 1, 1996

Epperly know their Pixies, Lemonheads, Pavement, and Jane’s Addiction roots, and don’t mind letting ’em hang out every now and then.

E. Coli – To Drool – Review

June 1, 1996

Bummer pop. Churning, hypnotic, brooding. Ex of Ethyl Meatplow, Nitzer Ebb. Wear ’60s and ’70s style suits. Melancholy.

Cradle of Thorns – Download This – Review

April 1, 1996

The alternative to everything. If I had to cite the influences, I’d say Clawfinger, Faith No More, Beastie Boys, Body Count, and Metallica.

Epperly – Review

February 1, 1996

Half the songs ooze through a relaxed Valium groove, while the other half cranks up the distortion for some happy pogoing and head bopping.

Rozz Williams & Gitane Demone – Dream Home Heartache – Review

October 1, 1995

Rozz Williams and Gitane Demone serenaded the cold day, the bleeding clouds.

E. Coli – 0157H7- Review

July 1, 1995

Gorgeously slow and noisy. A trip through sub atomic landscapes with your host, Capt. Valium.
