I'm trying to review songs I'm betting you either haven't heard, or forgot about. Released in 1999. Short song. Simple intersting guitar intro. Verse then :38 starts a freaking violin and familiar chord progressions. It isn't a real change to a chorus, it's like a interlude and the verse again. Interesting composition. V2 almost the same as 1. 1:07 the interlude, then 1:16 heavy chorus intro. It's like the Pixies, hushed, restrained verses, and explosive, wailing choruses.

1:30 right back to the psychedelic verse guitar and meandering vocals and guitars. 2:00 again familiar interlude, then heavy chorus at 2:09. This one goes a bit longer and has a medicore guitar solo. Back and forth chorus a but, then finally back to the origonal riff. realle mellow finish. It's a really satisifying listen while driving, or just chilling.

This is a huge memory from a time where music was dominated by shit pop music, and boy bands. Check this list out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_1999 With the exception of #18 and #23 (I will review them later) it is a complete list of absolute shit.

I got one you've either forgotten or never heard of Banditos by The Refreshments.

Oh wow, i recall this song. Never knew what it was called, but it did get some radio play on some of the heavy rock stations iirc, along with pearl jam, STP, temple of the dog, soundgarden etc etc. as with today a lot of commercial shit was heavily pumped.
