A two-piece band from Zion that turned raw guitar and drums into a long-running alternative rock story.
For a quick sense of their range, try 'Bound For The Floor' and 'Laminate Man.' They're both loud, but in different ways.
They landed on college radio in the mid-90s with 'Bound For The Floor,' a track that became a staple of that era's alternative rock. Songs like 'Eddie Vedder' and 'Hands On The Bible' sharpened their sound, a mix of aggression and introspection that never really softened. Even on later albums, that guitar-driven approach stayed central, which is why a track like 'Laminate Man' from their top songs still feels like it belongs to them.
Scott Lucas and drummer Joe Daniels started in Zion, Illinois, releasing 'Ham Fisted' in 1995. After 'As Good As Dead' in 1996, Daniels left in 1999, and Lucas kept the band going with shifting drummers through albums like 'Here Comes the Zoo' and '12 Angry Months.' They've put out nine studio albums total, with Lucas as the constant.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
