More power pop from MA. Doesn’t offend my sensibilities, I could listen to this in my car, if my dashboard had a turntable.

June 1, 1995

Ex-members of Seattle’s Treepeople. Their appeal is similar to that of the Archers of Loaf for command over quirky indie noise meets pop punk.

Alright, let’s rock! Catchy choruses, and good grooves, I hope I can catch them live with a six pack.

June 1, 1995

They have elements of Ramones and ’50s-style rock mixed amongst the pop love songs. Very Morrissey vocals on top of simple catchy pop rock.

If I didn’t know Silverchair came from Australia in 1995, I would swear they were Seattle circa 1990. Sounds like Pearl Chains Alice Jam.

June 1, 1995

Alternative pop with emotion and bite. I actually didn’t mind listening to this one.

June 1, 1995

One of those bands that sit on fences. Alternative-acoustic-pop with a Latin flavor. Like nachos with Velveeta and ground beef.

June 1, 1995

A deeply personal musical work which deserves to outlive its genre of fairly mainline alterna-rock.

June 1, 1995

June 1, 1995

Overwhelming Colorfast is captured here as close to live-in-your-living-room as you can get. Power pop at it’s finest.
