Dinosaur Jr.

In Session

Fuel

What more needs to be said about this band? Have you heard them? Have you been listening to music in the past two decades? Well, if you haven’t… you might as well start right here. Ten songs recorded in the legendary live n’ raw style of the BBC Sessions, from 1988 – 1992, shoving the manic guitar, the crush of distortion, and of course… the hooks that stick in you for years. The grit and whine of J Mascis’ vocals as he screams out “Bulbs Of Passion.” The beginnings of indie rock, the days when “alternative” meant more than Top 40. Mike Johnson, Lou Barlow… Keeping the glove and Leper in a jar. No bones, man… it floats. You know you love it.
