A New York trio whose 90s records, like '24 Hour Revenge Therapy,' defined a certain strain of smart, bruised guitar rock.
For the full picture, put on 'Accident Prone' and then something like 'Chemistry' from the later list. It's all there, the wounded clarity, the melodic grit.
They wrote songs that felt like late-night conversations in a cramped apartment, full of sharp detail and frayed nerves. Tracks like 'Accident Prone' and 'Tour Song' from '24 Hour Revenge Therapy' gave a voice to a specific kind of restless, overthinking youth. That directness is why their records never really went away, even after the band did.
They started in New York in the early 90s, putting out 'Unfun' and 'Bivouac.' The sound got tighter and the following grew with '24 Hour Revenge Therapy' in 1994. A major-label album, 'Dear You,' arrived in 1995, but the band was done by 1996.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
