Hello, I'm back and it's continuing brilliantly with one of my favorite bands from sunny California and I'm bringing you healthy vibes from Samiam, who re-recorded five songs from their 1989 demo on this cute little mini 12Inch, which didn't make it on the debut album. The band was formed 1988 with most of the combos founding members rising from the ashes of other Berkeley-area Punk bands and their first couple of albums being released on indie label New Red Archives. They say they're the inventors of EmoPunk, but I think that's nonsense. The lyrics are very personal, the music snotty and cheeky, and is that the reason for it? I don't like this kind of stereotyping, but people seem to need it when they're stuck for ideas. Anyway, I like the way they play together, and the guys were an impressive live experience too... It was a long time ago, and the T-Shirt I bought is already full of holes and worn out. Comes with new scans and a new bitrate, and the book of words closes with it. You can read for yourself how popular Samiam are and I recommend to buy their records, at least the early stuff is essential.
