#8: Creeper Lagoon

This week’s installment features the San Fransisco alternative/indie rock band Creeper Lagoon, who released a criminally-overlooked debut album I Become Small and Go in 1998, which drew a lot of Pavement comparisons.

#7: The Vandals (Holiday Edition!)

In celebration of the holidays, here’s a special edition of You Should Know featuring The Vandals‘ Christmas album, which came out in 1996.

#6: Slender Means

Seattle pop-rock band Slender Means is the topic of this week’s You Should Know.

#5: The Dismemberment Plan

This week’s You Should Know features one of my favorite bands, The Dismemberment Plan, who released two awesome albums (and a couple okay albums) before disbanding in the early 2000’s.

#4: Kevine Devine

This week I’ll be talking about Kevin Devine’s third solo album, Split the Country Split the Street, which I feel is his most decent record.

#3: Bedhead

This week’s You Should Know features the critically-acclaimed “slow-core” band Bedhead, who hailed from Texas and disbanded in 1998 (although the band essentially reunited under the name The New Year and still exists today).

#2: Luxury

This week’s installment of You Should Know features the Georgia-based band Luxury, who have released four great albums since their inception in the mid-90’s.

#1: Subset

Our first “You Should Know” post will feature the band Subset, who frequented the Austin TX scene and released two solid albums.
