alternative rock

These four tunes are very musical alternative songs with lots of weirdness and psychedelic grooves to it. "Glide" starts off with a few lines from the Fifth Dimension's "Up, Up and Away". It's funny. "Newt" sounds a bit like the Randy Rose/Danzig vibe for a while, with angry vocals, but then the frantic guitars change the mood to be more upbeat. A cool, Funk groove splits the song into yet another mood. To order, send $3 or a blank tape to: Jim Ellis, 206 S. Platten #3, Green Bay WI 54303.

Heaven's Metal #31Reviewed by Joey KnightRather bizarre name for a band, eh? Well, it gets even more bizarre with their music. HPT calls it Anti-Satan Disco Funk Metal. Hmmm?! The music doesn't have a solid direction, as if they wrote only small portions of songs and then slapped them together and gave them interesting names, like "Guntistha Gurden," "Banana" and "The Funky Creep." I personally liked the vocal harmonies on the beginning…
