561.0. "Gin Blossoms" by SUBPAC::MARTEL () Mon Nov 22 1993 09:50

    Just trying to get an idea of what these folks are like, having never
    heard them.  Seattle band?  Is the sound more like Nirvana or the
    Ramones?  My Discovery catalog describes them as "hard-hitting guitar
    rock", but that could mean anything.
    
    Thanks,

    These guys opened up for UB40 this past summer, and I didn't enjoy
    their music at all.  They sound like just another one-hit rock band
    (IMHO).  They are definitely NOT like Nirvana, and I don't think I've ever
    heard the Ramones..  They have a song out on the radio called 
    "Hey Jealousy" (SP?).

561.3if you like "Hey Jealousy", you'll probably like themWBC::DEADYeverything's fine... just fine...Tue Nov 23 1993 06:586
    They are typically refered to as "alternative," look in RADIO_RADIO
    for more info. I think there's already a string on them in there.
    The second song from their CD has been released, it seems to "fit"
    the same style as "Hey Jealousy."
