Grass Show – Something Smells Good In Stinkville (1996)
30/05/10
ALLMUSIC Never mind the title. Grass-Show’s debut album Something Smells Good in Stinkville is an infectious fusion of stylish Brit-pop, quirky new wave, punchy ’70s power-pop and breezy Euro-pop. The band’s strength is their melodic sensibilities, and while their clever lyrics can come across as smug, the light, frothy hooks and melodies are positively effervescent.

Shed Seven – A Maximum High (1996)
21/05/10
ALLMUSIC Producing five massive U.K. singles, Shed Seven’s sophomore effort is the band’s most consistently engaging album. Borrowing more from trad-rock than many of their peers, Shed Seven essentially created an album full of inspirational anthems — three of the album’s singles seem to deal with achievement of some sort. This is no drawback, however, as many of the songs on A Maximum High are excellent shout-along, arena-ready numbers. The set as a whole is far more consistent than their spotty debut and contains very little filler. While Shed Seven scarcely explore any unfamiliar territory, A Maximum High is a very consistent and listenable disc of mid-1990s mainstream rock & roll. [by Jason Damas]
