All Time High
Friends in High Places
Small Stone
Welcome to the Pacific Northwest, cousin, where twelve songs of soggy alt-pop are more at home than any other place in time. There’s a dissident air of teen spirit here, a place crowded by zombie children in silver pants, with unwashed hair, with uncashed cheques. By all means, burn a hole in your sweater with a dying cigarette, but don’t forget to kiss that girl with the bubblegum lips. Cobain’s not really dead, that’s a fact, and hey, didn’t you really dig that first Bionic record? I thought you did. You can have it all, you know, the honey and the mud, but don’t touch the Tad poster on the telephone pole. That stays right where it is so future generations know. Just call Jack, he’ll show you how it goes. Now ride your cosmic motorcycle on out of here, back from whence you came, and tell them what you heard, that everything has changed in as much as it’s the same.
Listen to “New Urge” from Friends in High Places!
