Short, but sweet...
Despite being formally OOP, apparently, it can be found *everywhere*, and is well worth the $5 that's usually charged. This EP "tested the waters," so to speak, for New Miserable Experience, and while it's both short, and contains a few songs contained on that album, its exclusive tracks are excellent.


good
but it's a million times better then any given cd written by a diffent band (again, with the exception of gas giants. okay, i'm willing to admit not their best work. . . . ).


Bar band makes the big time
Elvis the cat lives,eat at Robbies. Just wanted to say thanks to the guys for all the good times on mill ave especially as the "Del Montes".


Get the albums!
The plaintive angellic rasp of heartbroken vocals laid over chiming raunch, evokes all the greats but with a distinctive edge of youthful desperation, despair, anger and excitement. The Gin Blossom's first album, New Miserable Experience, is destined to become a minor classic being as it is the almost perfect distillation of jangle, swagger and angst in a catholic style. That one of the principals then killed himself comes as little or no surprise as there is a definite sound of someone losing the will to continue in this world of broken hearts and desolation. Despite this the album is uplifting, with soaring harmonies, guitars that crunch and fizz, and even a touch of humour as the band show off their country licks and ways with a cynical lyric ". . . . you can't call it cheating 'cos she looks a lot like you". Get the album as the e. p. only gives you half the story and the extra tracks arn't really that great.
