The bands don’t fit neatly into categories like indie rock, punk, hardcore, noise, classic rock, or heavy metal. All are represented, but not in the usual way.
What the Chili Peppers always wanted to be. Or like a Mr. Bungle without so much John Zorn. Vocals in a Biafra-ish way, hard driving with an enormous guitar.
The Offspring “Smash It Up.” Michael Hutchence goes solo from INXS. Sunny Day Real Estate gain exposure. And Flaming Lips was hilarious when set to Jim Carrey.
