Characterized by their muscular guitar sound and the powerful vocals of frontwoman Jenny Toomey, the aptly named Tsunami was among the most important and original bands to emerge from the American indie scene of the 1990s...

saw them live once... was okay. sorta after my feelings had waned. later tho, i saw jenny solo with geoff from karate... THAT my friends was super hawesome. that's when i was like, "whoa jenny is there."

Their Franklin Bruno cover is worth seeking out.

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 13 November 2024 06:18 (eight months ago)

fer sure. Versus, for one.

Regardless of opinion, I’m skeptical there’s enough demand, which makes me think there’s too much faith in the marketing... like the ROI seems not promising. On the other hand obscure cult acts like Ozean or formally obscure mega cult acts like Duster are a sure thing.

And I agree, to that point, there’s way more demand for Versus for instance.

I love Deep End but couldn't get into The Heart's Tremelo, which put me off ever listening to the 3rd one
