Editor's note

Veruca Salt's Chicago grit and harmony

The Nina Gordon and Louise Post-led band that gave us 'Seether' and kept going.

For the full picture, put 'Seether' next to something like 'Said Sadly'. That's the band's range in a nutshell.

When 'American Thighs' landed in 1994, 'Seether' and 'Number One Crush' had that specific Chicago mix of grunge guitars and vocal harmonies that felt both raw and catchy. They didn't just capture a moment; they built a catalog that fans still pull from, whether it's the early single 'Said Sadly' or later tracks like 'Morning Sad'. The band's sound has always been about that push-and-pull between Gordon and Post's voices.

They formed in Chicago in 1992, released 'American Thighs' on Minty Fresh, and went on hiatus in the late '90s. The 2002 reunion album 'Eight Arms to Hold You' started a second act that's included records like 'Ghost Notes' and 2021's 'The Jellyfish Parade'. Through lineup changes, Gordon and Post have remained the core.

Archive material and source history

Veruca Salt formed in Chicago in 1992 around Nina Gordon and Louise Post. They signed with Minty Fresh Records and released their debut album 'American Thighs' in 1994, which included the singles 'Seether' and 'Number One Crush.' The record's grunge-tinged guitars and harmonies connected with listeners at the time.

After a hiatus in the late 1990s, the band reunited and put out 'Eight Arms to Hold You' in 2002. They've continued to record and tour since, with albums like 'Ghost Notes' in 2015 and 'The Jellyfish Parade' in 2021. Their setlists often include songs such as 'Said Sadly,' 'All Dressed Up,' and 'Eyes On You.'

Gordon and Post have been the consistent core, with drummers including Jim Shapiro and later Stacy Jones. In 2018 they marked the 25th anniversary of 'American Thighs' with a tour and reissue.
