90s guitar college rock indie... The 80s are back now so lets hope this comes next?

Anybody?

OK guys jokes over you can all stop ignoring me (about 95%) on every thread. :)

I like "Belong," but I've either chosen to ignore its Smashing Pumpkin-isms or haven't noticed them altogether. You know, there were other bands in the 90s who played guitars.

Do I ever know it. 90s bands that play guitar are my favorite type of music. Though it has that SP sound to the crunchier parts. Also reminds me of Hum. I'm not just drawing this line because it was produced by the same person who did some SP records.

In reference to the thread title: I fucking hope so. The 80's revival has lasted longer than the actual 80's at this stage.

Thats true, sadly. Some of us are hopelessly nostalgic for periods besides the 80s, thank you.

God the 90s are barely cold in the ground, lets not rush to eulogise just yet.

(Superchunk and Archers of Loaf forever tho man)

<3

both are touring this year tho!

Aw no fair! LOL maybe I should make my trip over whenever they're playing haha.

FWIW, I'm looking forward to the next Eleventh Dream Day album

got my tix for eleventh dream day/come in april (!)

actually, superchunk are playing japan in a week or so if that's easier . . .

The Come show in Brooklyn?

I need to go but I can't figure out if I can until maybe Monday arrggghhh.

If theyre playing in Japan they could blummin well just keep going and come here, too, humf. I havent seen them live since the 90s geez.

The Come show in Brooklyn?

indeed

With all the reunions of 90s greats recently its looking pretty good for a resurgence in nice, messy, straightforward rock again.

I need to make it to that show.

i dunno, i heard you skipped the !!! show so they were probably like, if trayce's not rocking out then what's the point

I only skipped it cause I couldnt afford it! I missed Arial Pink that night too! It was a night of great sadness.

the Swirlies, Polvo, Unwound, (early) Lilys, Chavez, 18th Dye, Unrest, Spinanes, Duster, Uncle Wiggly, Multiple Cat, Bedhead, 12 Rods, Red Red Meat, Seam, Hum, Shudder To Think, Smart Went Crazy

This is a list of made-up bands, surely?

I remember Polvo and the lilys at least!

No no no no no

Not made up bands. 1st, 2nd and 4th are of my all time five favorites, ever.

Haha, well I've never heard of any of them. I was trolling to some extent there, sorry.

I've heard of Polvo, Unrest, and Uncle Wiggly, though I couldn't tell you anything about what they sound like.

Oh, and Shudder to Think, also.

I'll buy Polvo and Uncle Wiggly, but being unable to describe Unrest is just lame.

I think I saw either six or seven of those bands live. I feel old.

Uncle Wiggly is such a terrible name. If I was in a band called Uncle Wiggly I would definitely pretend my band was called something else when I told people about it, like Flaming Death Skull or Crushinator or something.

They were awesome though. And so is the board game.

Spinanes way underrated. Also: the spinanes / rebecca gates

but being unable to describe Unrest is just lame

This is not music I care about.

Doesn't matter. It's still lame.

spinanes were grebt and rebecca gates is still around, in places

"I've heard Fargo, The Beatles, and Green [not the power pop ones, people] though I couldn't tell you anything about what they sound like."

wow I completely forgot about the Spinanes. They were really good!

holy shit dude swervedriver and daniel johnston

If you've not heard much Unrest, trying to describe them would be even lamer. They had about eight different sounds over the course of their career and he might have only heard one or two.

good point, they were willfully eclectic.

The Spinanes 'Imp Years" is one of the best things in this vein that the 90's had to offer.

You guys I am seeing Swervedriver live next week omg.

xpost on Unrest: yes, but I always prefer to believe that people have tin ears rather than that they're just shooting their mouths off about a band with a 24 year recording career that they know nothing about...

I saw Magnapop once and they were unbelievably nice at the merch table after the show.

Sorry that was apropos of nothing but it has guitars and was 90s and was really good.

Never saw them. :( Lay it down is also great. I remember LOVING that album.

'hawaiian baby' was sublime despite having nothing to do with gr8080

OK now I'm just thinking about bands that I listened to around that time but you know who I loved and forgot about until just now? Tilt, that's who.

I do not remember who that is. Were they on Lookout! or something? Memories...fading...

ok but that might not be "guitar college indie rock"
