The Verlaines, Straightjacket Fits, and The Clean are all solid, but that track by The Bats is absolutely incredible. The bass player is just ripping it the entire song and that high-pitched distorted guitar solo is oh so good. Frenetic bass playing is one of the best aspects of this era in music imo — see “Telephoto Lens” — which has unfortunately been lost in recent iterations of this sound.

That track by The Chills is really good as well. The singer reminds me a lot of the guy from Whitest Boy Alive. Or I guess the guy from Whitest Boy Alive reminds me of this guy… Ya that one.
