90's Take 3

Sebadoh
"Rebound"




Sebadoh emerged at a time when it was ok to be angst ridden. Much like the 2000's the early-mid 90's was a time of great complacency. People lived. People made music. People made art. It wasn't punk, it wasn't rock, it was lo-fi cheap and flawed. MTV was a big deal, but it wasn't the monopoly it is now (there was ONE MTV channel, not 7).

One of the gem's of the 90's was Sebadoh's album "Bakesale" and their teenage centered lyrics: lost love, confusion, sex, drugs... along with the raw, rough guitar.

Standout Tracks:
-Not too Amused
-Skull
-Rebound
-Together or Alone
-License to Confuse

Not to mention Lou Barlow's amazing talent... (The Folk Implosion/bassist Dinosaur Jr.)

Sebadoh is everything that Blink 182 should of been for those of us in the late 90's.
