#362/2042 LISTENING POST ADMIN DISCOVERY
1986 Housekeeping
Dumptruck
Positively Dumptruck
Genre: Jangle Pop
4.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Back Where I Belong
Secrets
Walk Into Mirrors
So, we’ve come to a Jim Erbe suggestion.
What was wrong with Jangle Pop bands in the 80s? Specifically Dumptruck and Guadalcanal Diary. Guys, your sound is steeped in that paisley or jangly and fun rock sound but your names are so obviously punk that there’s no way I would have gravitated to you.
Shit, I missed out on that.
Any REM fan in 1986 should have been given this record as a bonus. It’s like the sunny California version of Reckoning. (Yes, I know they are from Boston…shut up)
