A late-80s band whose unvarnished lyrics and intense energy built a loyal following.
For the early sound, '12th and Middle' is the place. Later tracks like 'In The Pills' and 'Glutton For Tragedy' show how they kept that straightforward approach.
That first album '12th and Middle' named after one of their songs set the tone. Tracks like 'A Thousand Years' and 'Ain't No Trip To Cleveland' gave people a sense of what they were about, straightforward rock with lyrics that don't pull punches. You can still hear that early sound on songs like 'As You Wish' and 'Probably Nothing' from their catalog.
They started playing in Los Angeles in the late 1980s and released their first album '12th and Middle' in 1989. Some critics found their lyrics too direct or their stage presence too intense, but they kept playing the way they wanted and put out more records after that. Their following liked the energy in their music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
