There are very few bands that stick with you while you grow up and explore different genres of music, and venture the many phases in which adolescence uncomfortably guides you through. But these few that remain, the ones you take hold of, and last that test of time, are priceless, and no matter what flavor of the month comes along they will remain a part of your steady musical diet. I was introduced to Seaweed in the early 90's (my best guess would be 1994-1995, during my obsession with all that was Sub Pop) and I heard something different, and special. I still don't know what it is... maybe the fact that it's raw, and has a skate punk rock feel to it, but remains catchy with pop hooks. Whatever it was, I remained excited on this band. And because of this I decided to compile the collection of LP's I have, and make them available to whoever may come across this and perhaps any loyal readers/lurkers. Anyone out there? So if you've never heard of Seaweed, here's your introduction to a band worth taking hold of, and gripping tightly throughout all musical storms that may amuse your life. Enjoy!
