Listen to the Best Bandcamp Rock Albums (Part 1 - New College Rock)
Do you remember when the USA’s "college rock” was an ill-defined yet freedom genre? The Replacements were massive but never made it, but R.E.M. did. That’s what I was thinking about when I thought of this post, an era before 500 shitty pop songs were released weekly into the brains of young adults who think it’s normal to be vapid (or is that WAPid?).
I got through all your selections. All were interesting. Are those your favorites of the genre or favorites from locals. I enjoyed in Our Bedroom After the War a lot, but really liked Monkey. The female percussion was very Mo Tucker Velvet Underground. I will see what else I can dig up from Low. Thanks for the heads up on these selections.
That was a fun list,Mike.
You should think about opening a post apoplectic disco tech.
When the war is over we all have to find good places to drink and sell surplus gear.
