Dug is my godfather so I grew up on a steady diet of this band, up through Ear Candy. Though they were one of my favorite bands, I haven’t listened to them in years, other than occasional Dogman.
When I started building a record collection, nostalgia was a big factor, so I resolved to make sure these albums which were so formative to me a part of my collection.
The biggest surprise re-acquainting myself with the music is, not only is it as fucking great as I remember, there’s so much more for my more mature ears to appreciate.
I am certainly biased by a loose familial connection, but I think these guys are an incredibly underrated band, even for the industry respect they get for influencing bigger bands. Their sound is so unique, heavy, soulful, Beatlesque, and still proggy.
Thank you!
