N.O.T.A. – Give Em Enough Dope – Review

December 1, 1996

Their sound hasn’t changed a lot over the years, the most notable difference being the addition of metal guitar licks over the hardcore cacophony.

The Sons Of Hercules – “Spittin Fire” – Review

October 1, 1996

Trashy old boy rock with a solid bite. Great for those beer swillin’, brawl makin’ nights, hittin’ on all the purty gals.

The Sons of Hercules – “Spittin’ Fire” – Review

March 1, 1996

Punchy, post-punk heavy on the distortion. The Sons of Hercules sound like the Stooges, but with better production. It’s fast and in-yer-face, yet bouncy.

N.O.T.A. – “Hell Hole” – Review

March 1, 1996

They haven’t forgotten what made them one of the all-time greats of the genre, but judging from this release, they’re incapable of reproducing it.

The Beginning of the End Again – Review

February 1, 1996

Zowie! Fifteen bands, 15 tracks, from noisy pop to howling punk. The liner notes are so cool, it’s hard to say anything else about these songs.

The Dropouts – The Primitive R&B Sound Of… – Review

October 1, 1995

Sounds more like psychobilly than R&B. Has everything that’s made Elvis Hitler and The Meteors great. Fast-paced with stand-up bass and squeaking harmonica.

Crown Roast – “George” – Review

September 1, 1995

Really ugly, belligerent sludge rock. This is the type of thing that your square friends can’t understand how anyone could enjoy listening to.

Dumptruck – Days of Fear – Review

March 1, 1995

Having strong ties with both Boston and Texas, it’s not surprising to hear guitar-oriented pop, Boston style, mixed with Texan twang.

The Hormones – “Sell Out Young” – Review

February 1, 1995

Not the most profound lyrics in the world, but the music is Sex Pistols punk – sloppy, pissy and poorly recorded.
