Sounding like it was recording for $85 and a case of beer I really wanted to love this. The band sounds great but that lead vox quaver that’s trying to come close to Stipe but also something…yelpier…he was pretty off putting at first. But then I just let it wash over me and kind of loved it.
I don’t think any of us realized how many REM copycat bands were out there at the time. “Treeline” is the perfect example of this.
