A tribute to the noisier side of the college/underground rock scene in the USA. Our previous episode focused on 1983-86, and this time we fast forward to 1987-88. We’ll hear selections from several of the prominent labels of this time, like SST, Sub Pop, Homestead, and Touch & Go, featuring bands like Screaming Trees (pictured), Dinosaur Jr., Green River, Pussy Galore, Buffalo Tom, Faith No More, Killdozer, and Eleventh Dream Day. Plus, lots of groups who often escape memorialization, such as Poison Idea, Didjits, The Crucifucks, Bitch Magnet, The Honeymoon Killers, Death of Samantha, and Ed Hall. And, who can forget Happy Flowers’ epic “More Mittens”?!?
