This thing so reminds me of High School. I think I only saw the band play once after I graduated and that was at an in-store at Tower Records in Austin. Back in high school my friends and I would see these guys any chance we could get, and this album was something we listened to all the time. These songs *are* pretty simple, but they’re catchy and pretty good. The band does sound a lot like Jane’s Addiction (esp. in the vocals) and after a while, Tim Delaughter’s vocals and presentation get annoying.
Change of Mind is a really cool song; there’s some cool guitar bits on here and On the Ground is great as well. On the Ground was a fantastic live song. Most of the songs on here are really good and this is something fun to pop in on occasion. If you can find the original Dragon Street issue of Bill (instead of the Island version) get it since it has the extra track, Green Tambourine (a 60’s cover song). Even if you get the Island version, it’s still something I’d recommend picking up if you like early 90’s alternative stuff.
