the 90s was also the prime era for these labels:

touch and go
siltbreeze
matador
amphetamine reptile
majora

easily 40 or so essential bands on those rosters.

Goldfinger - Saw these guys at Lupo's in Providence. I know a lot folks think they're ska/punk posers, but I don't care, they entertained me and still do when I throw their album on repeat in the iPod.

saw them a couple of years ago when i was in Vegas, some type of promo going on, they were playing at the Hardrock. got in for free.

i miss these guys:

For those of you who didn't know this little bit of trivia: Chris O'Connel was one of N8's Navy buddies.................they still keep in touch.

A buddy turned me on to them well after they disbanded, but I'm going to throw Kyuss onto the list.

Gin Blossoms = no.

I like the silliness of the Refreshments and James. I still love "Laid".

i was gonna tell you that the surfers' output of anything interesting pretty much dried up around '89, but then noted that you also listed sublime...

Really? i was told they were early 90's but i guess thats not right.

 

[LeRoy]

I must thank this thread for reminding me to check Propagandhi's webpage and thereby causing me to notice the concert schedule. I'll be seeing them on the 20th of April in Tokyo. Hopefully the Japanese audience will cause them to go light on the preaching and hard on the rocking.

[Nick]

Hey, dont get me wrong. I'm a big fan of the "W.H.N.M." tours.

 

[amishmatt]

Anybody mention Local H yet?

 

[narlus]

and sometimes it's not just the performance...Polvo shook off a 12 year hibernation period and put out the best record of their career w/ _In Prism_. it's my favorite record of 2009.

 

[JohnE]

Holy bump, Batman.

WHOA! Forgot about Surf Punks, but weren't they 80's?

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Yep, they were 80's, but damn good stuff.

Watch out for the dummies there's a million or more, they'll rip off your spot, they think they're hot.......................... Totally!

Goldfinger - I was too young(13-14) to know if they were truly a good band but I Loved them. I went through a popy ska/punk stage, around the same time I was also listening to Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake.

Heh - I loved those bands too. Especially Goldfinger. They are still around - in fact, I have their newest album I think.

I was a mega grunge kid when I was 14.

These might be Canadian bands? I dunno.. I used to go to this all ages show venue in London Ontario with my friends to see bands every friday. Call the Office I think it was...

Lots of awesome small grunge bands there. I think I saw I mother Earth as my first concert with Glueleg opening.
