I just stumbled upon this album recently myself, but it's good. Formed in early 90s Seattle, this band really took the West Coast punk sound and ran with it. Think a popper Jawbreaker with irreverent lyrics that involve Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, Carl Sagan, and "gettin' drunk offa sunshine". This doesn't mean you should like it any less, however. This music is carefree and fun. It's totally danceable and just has a genuine feel to it. Some songs are good music for riding bikes, while some songs are good music for skateboarding. This album kind of epitomises the "nerd rock" side of punk at the time. It's a shame these guys didn't get bigger, because many of their contemporaries did and Sicko opened for some pretty big bands at the time. Basically, I feel like this album is the album my teenage soul would write if my teenage soul lived in Seattle in the early 90s.Plus, the guy in the middle of the picture totally kind of looks like Bradford Cox of Deerhunter.
Welcome! This blog is run by a college kid out of Columbus, Ohio who deals with a college kid schedule. As a result, I try to update fairly regularly, but please understand if I can't. That being said, anything on here should be used for 24-hour preview purposes only. Be sure to go support these artists. Throw a couple bucks their way for albums/merch/shows. If you are an artist and wants your content removed, please contact me at your convenience and I will take the content down ASAP. If you so desire, I will place a link to where readers can buy/download the album directly from you. If you are an artist who wants content to be featured on here, send me a message with a link to your site/MySpace/downloadable album or whatever, and I'll get right on it. Need help? Requests? Anything else? Get in touch.
