Hello fellow Sorry Staters! Thanks for making it all the way down to the bottom of the newsletter! Nothing too exciting has been happening in my world the past week other than the weather going from a hot and humid hell outside to a rainy humid hell. Let’s hope it gets cooler faster this fall. I’ve switched my focus in listening to do some deeper dives into some early 90s grunge/post hardcore bands. One of those bands I fell in love with was a band called Seaweed from Tacoma, Washington. Seaweed started in the early 90s, putting out albums mostly on Sub Pop and Hollywood Records. Their album Spanaway was released in 1995 and was their third full-length put out on Hollywood Records after their run with Sub Pop. The album, in my opinion, is the peak and highlight of their career. You can tell this from the maturity in the vocals and all the instrumentation on the album. The biggest standout to me is the drumming. During this album, they added a new drummer, Alan Cage of Quicksand. It was the perfect addition to the crunchy guitar tone and vocals that almost sound like they should be the melodic parts of an Ignite song. It was the perfect blend of 90s punk and grunge coming out at the time. As always, check them out if you haven’t, and if you have any suggestions of obscure 90s emotional hardcore/emo that you want to recommend please shoot me a message! We have been getting lots of great new releases in, and as always tons of great used stuff gets posted daily. Until next time!
