More "REAL" music, thank you...

"firehose delivers plain stripped down suburban folk-tinged garage rock that simply ebbs and flows, forcing you to tap your foot and occasionly stomp.
Great roadtrip music!
Great music like this is a rare find if you're tired listening to good old classic rock and cannot stomach the over-hyped, over-produced, MTV/VH1/American Idol no-talent fad crap that is spread across the airwaves today.
Buy Rage'n fullon and Double-Nickels on the dime as well as some Afghan Whigs and Screeming trees, load up the Ipod, hit the road and don't look back"
The ED album from firehose

"This is minutemen minus singer/guitar D Boon, who died in a car accident c1985. They got this 'Ed Fromohio' who had no musical background.
I interviewed mike watt the next year when flyin the flannel came out. He described this as Ed's album (their neophyte guitarist/singer), while flannel was his/Watt's album.
This music makes sense though. Minutemen were fans of CCR and BOC and other unapologetic pop rock from the 70s, and that is what this sounds like. Simple acoustic tinged rock music. This album is not that consistent, but when it hits, it is as good as it gets for minutemen or firehose."
Masterpiece!

"Almost twenty years old and still as fresh as ever! One of the most unique bands of the eighties and nineties!
A hard band to put a label on. Who cares! They sound great on this one. Funky, fun and powerful!"
