Verbena

Into The Pink

Capitol

Proactive grit and sneer outfit Verbena has stuck their snotty heads squarely on the shoulders of those antiheroes whose shenanigans forged the once mighty Grunge scene. As suspected, a former card-carrying member of the plaid angst crowd is behind this latest attempt to rid the world from the pathetic musical shape it has become. Dave Grohl produces Into The Pink while Verbena careens recklessly across the vacant lot you keep as your head. Scott Bondy and company resemble Kurt and company in the ferocity and intensity in which they approach a song. Never underestimate a keg of piss and vinegar! Into The Pink is a fantastic major label debut for these Birmingham, Alabama fuckers.
