It figures, with 20-year anniversaries and all, that there are odes to 1994 cropping up everywhere. It was arguably the peak of the “alternative rock” thing, and both influential chart-topping bands and underground acts were performing at their height. One nod to that year comes by way of L.A. duo of Dan Crane and Amanda […]

Today the band announced that its first new album in 14 years, “Defend Yourself,” will come out Sept 17 […]
Nice missive from Sub Pop this morning (no, the venerable Seattle label didn’t sign six more bands or anything): Sebadoh’s 1994 album “Bakesale” is getting the deluxe edition treatment. The remastered gem from Lou Barlow and crew will be out June 14 on vinyl (with digital downloads), as well as a double CD, the second […]
