1994 was a magical year.
From the highs of Woodstock '94 and the beginnings of the modern web to the lows of the death of Kurt Cobain and O.J. Simpson's freeway chase.
Music was no different with the rise of Green Day, Oasis, and Korn.
Writer Chad V. Holtkamp spent the Fall of 1994 as a music reviewer for The Northern Iowan, the college newspaper at the University of Northern Iowa.
Spotlighting the famous—Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails, the not so famous—Tripmaster Monkey and Compulsion, to those in between—James, Soup Dragons, and Mojo Nixon, Chad scoured the underground for new releases to feature in a weekly music column, back in the day before the web made finding new music as easy as clicking a button.
Check out the second release in the From the Vault Music Series with 1994.
