It always amazes me when a group of talent has been around for so long, yet never makes it into the general public awareness.

Not super impressed with their rhythms, but that coupled with the clean vocals reminds me of early Stone Temple Pilots (admittedly 15 years later, but still one of my favorite bands).

It's upsetting that I can't think of another late-career band that 'made it big' decades after touring. Victims of the market, I suppose, with this stupid fetish for only picking up the new, young acts. Otherwise these guys would be pretty ripe for some audiences today.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check out their other stuff for certain.

When Nirvana came out I was just beginning to transition out of a very sheltered church every Sunday country music loving family. I remember seeing the Nevermind album in a bin outside a music store in the mall and laughing at the absurdity of it. At the time I was rebelling at the weird sounds and antics of country music but I was also rebelling against Grunge music from the thought of it being to popular and trendy among the social outcasts of my own peers that I did not yet identify with. I had started to listen to our local oldies station and was really into the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album when I heard that Kurt had died. Immediately after his passing Mtv would play unplugged quite regularly and thats when I found my appreciation for Nirvana. I became one of there biggest fans which led into other bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Shamshing Pumpkins, Cranberries, Weezer and then later into bands like Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Pixies, and the Flaming LIps. All my musical taste has been shaped and guided by this one band.

Sigh, too much heroin,, i think but i don't know.>> ^agopo:

My all-time favorite band!
Too bad Weiland went downhill during the last ten years. Sometimes drugs bring out your most beautiful thoughts. And then sometimes they just fuck you up (talking to you, Weiland).

Thanks for the quality KP

Fixed, thanks for the note.

That's a great song. It reminds me of that song by Stone Temple Pilots - Half The Man.

Happy to do it. I heard that song earlier today on the radio, and it brought back some fond memories from that time period - the early '90s.

Several possible replacement embeds:

And there's an alternate version here:

I'd go with the Yahoo version, because it shouldn't be region-blocked (MTV blocks Canada), and since they (Yahoo) posted it, it's safe to assume they have permission from the record label.

Thanks for that Kronoz.

Wow this video is so bad. Was it intentional? They're capable of much better - like they did in this vid (featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar with black hair!):
