Ten For Tuesday Episode 093: 90s Post Hardcore Metal Rock Thing

I've been waiting for this one. There's a lot of cool music here featuring all (or most) from the 90s post hardcore/metal type of rock thing. How cool is that? On a side note, I have seen three of these bands and they were all in the 90s.



Helmet - In The Meantime
Vox Populi - Line In The Gravel
Fugazi - Bed For The Scraping
Hammerbox - Hole
Rollins Band - Disconnect
Handsome - Needles
Quicksand - Fazer
Monsula - We Need
Stompbox - No Woods
Iceburn - Poem Of Fire

Ten For Tuesday is a podcast dedicated to playing the music I couldn't find anywhere else. The music I like varies from style to style, genre to genre and era to era. You will hear punk, ska, rock, Americana, metal, country, rockabilly and more from all over the world. It doesn't matter if it's a major label or indie as long as I like it then it gets played. The motto is Less Talk More Music which means you won't hear me waxing poetic for fifteen minutes between songs. At TFT its all about the music...and me of course.

Hammerbox

Due to a technical glitch with my Ipod I had no podcasts to listen to tonight while at work and instead listened only to music which is becoming a rare thing for me. I left it on shuffle for the most part until a song by the band Hammerbox came on and I ended up listening to all of their songs from their album Numb which was released in 1993. Hammerbox formed in Seattle somewhere around 1989 to 1990 and got lumped in with the so called "grunge" bands of that era. They called it quits in 1994 which just goes to show that in the music business it's not always enough to have good songs, a fantastic singer who has a powerful voice (Carrie Akre) and quality musicians. You also need to have luck and a good deal of it. Unfortunately Hammerbox didn't have enough and never followed up what I call an unsung album that was a favorite of mine for a long time. So now I look back and remember the short lived brilliance of Hammerbox.
