Pervert by Charm Farm swaggered into the mid-’90s with industrial-tinged alternative rock that fused sleazy hooks with gritty guitar licks. Mechanical grooves create a sound that feels both nightclub-ready and deeply personal. Tracks like “Superstar” and “Sick” capture the era’s obsession with fame and self-destruction while wrapped in infectious, neon-lit melodies. Completely overlooked upon release, Pervert offers sleek and subversive rock at a time the mainstream sought a more radio friendly (i.e. marketable) sound.

Eve's Plum - Envy | 90s Album Review
Eve’s Plum captured the multi-genre energy of the early 90s on their 1993 debut Envy. Fronted by Colleen Fitzpatrick (later known as pop star Vitamin C) the band blended fuzzed-out guitars and hook-heavy melodies that sat comfortably between the noisy shoegaze of Swervedriver and the sweet hooks of Letters to Cleo. Tracks like “Blue” and “I Want It All” showcase their sharp, dynamic songwriting wrapped in punchy production. While Envy didn’t break through commercially, it hinted at the band’s knack for balancing angst and charm, that maybe a little editing could have improved.

Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger | 00s Album Review
Twenty years since their debut, Maxïmo Park’s A Certain Trigger announces itself with angular guitars, driving rhythms, and Paul Smith’s earnest, impassioned vocals that give the songs both urgency and heart. Tracks like “Apply Some Pressure” and “Graffiti” capture the restless energy of youth, the album skillfully marries wiry indie-rock grit with pop immediacy. The band carved out their own voice amid a crowded scene that included the likes of The Futureheads, Bloc Party, The Kaiser Chiefs, and more post-Britpop bands with tight arrangements and inspired studio choices with a variety of keyboard sounds.

Adrian Belew - Young Lions | 90s Album Review
Adrian Belew’s 1990 album Young Lions blends his signature experimental guitar work with pop-friendly rock songwriting. Though it features David Bowie on two excellent tracks, “Pretty Pink Rose” and closer "Gunman," it does not take away from Belew's opportunities behind the mic, finding a balance between the croon of Roy Orbison and quirk of David Byrne. He balances quirky, textured arrangements with strong melodies, making the album both adventurous and approachable. Lyrically, it touches on themes of modern anxieties and cultural shifts, filtered through Belew’s surreal perspective on UFOs, government helicopters, and more, without being preachy or on the nose.

Intro - Young Lions
22:17 - Pretty Pink Rose
29:30 - Looking For A UFO
38:44 - Heartbeat
Outro - Gunman
