amoeba

The Thermals - Remember Today

i've been on amoeba rehab for the last few months, and tonight i cracked. i went in and picked up some records by bands i've been meaning to support for a while. so you're gonna see some alternate tracks come up in the next few days by a handful of bands that have made it to mix tapes, but not quite into my CD rack.

so here's one of the lesser known bands on subpop records. what strikes me most about this band is how taught the vocals are. the delivery puts a sharp edge on the lyrics and holds them up high. A Stare Like Yours is the clear cut hero of the record, but this song, and a couple others, all make for solid supporting material on the record (titled: Fuckin' A).
