I was a late ween convert. I didn’t take them seriously back in the day (because they didn’t take anything seriously and I really wasn’t into joke acts) but then years later someone clued me in that they were actually super on it musically sorta on the sly. I went down a rabbit hole with those records. Good stuff. I grew up in Cleveland so I was fed a steady diet of corn fed classic rock and metal from older sibs when I was young but then teen years took a hard turn, first into hardcore, thrash & punk and then into more garage, underground and indie rock stuff as I got into college and beyond. I’m a wide pallet guy but skew pretty heavily to the left end of fm dial. I’ve been told a few times recently my stuff has a distinct 90’s and 00’s indie rock radio vibe which makes sense of course. But I think I’m just a singer songwriter who just tries to lean into song craft but likes to flesh it all out with all the bells and whistles and call myself a band. It keeps me off the streets.
