Just a Dream Away
Yeah, I know. This is considered “punk” but if it’s anything I’ve learned from the past few spins of Wipers records it’s that whatever was being classified as “punk” was quickly morphing into the sounds that we would come to associate with “alternative”, “120 Minutes” and, eventually, mainstream 90s radio.
Just listen to that first track. There’s Sonic Youth and King Missile and Nirvana all over that shit.
Unfortunately it doesn’t hold me the way Over the Edge or Straight Ahead did.
