Robert Pollard, of Dayton, Ohio, was destined to be a rock star of Grace Potter dimensions.
(Told ya)
This was the big first single off the 11th GbV album, Do The Collapse. Known for being a lo-fi band, this album was slick, and produced by Ric Ocasek. Yes, from The Cars. This song was huge and had a polished sound - and let Pollard unleash his inner rock star.
Not that it was leashed before this. But really, this song brings it differently. Jim McPherson from The Breeders (more on them later) supplies the drums.
That album came out in 1999.
Pollard was still bringing THAT LEVEL of energy in 2019 to his live performances of the song.
By the way - I mentioned that this song was polished and released in 1999, and that's true.
But also, it was a song that had been retired from their live sets in 1996 - and this is what it sounded like in 1996.
....and this is how it sounded in 2013 when they picked it back up again.
