The Refreshments Shunning the stupid MTV philosophy of brain-drain endless video saturation, they became the BEST GROUP NOBODY EVER HEARD OF! Check out their 3 or 4 videos! Paul Westerberg is a goddamn genius (although he needs to get back to his "Replacement" roots!) Coincidentally, The Refreshments are the 2nd best band that ever existed. I think The Replacements, out of Minnesota, are the best alternative band that ever existed. Its too bad that both groups never made it in the so-called popular music culture. But maybe that's why they are so good. The Ass Ponys are also good. Liz Phair is also really cool. First Class Rock'n Roll from Sweden com, I believe they have released six albums. Yes, it can be a little confusing, there was a while ago three bands named the "Refreshments" but this is actually the real thing! This band started out in 1990, I believe, long before the other Refreshments came along! If you like the Dave Edmunds / Rockpile kind of Rock'n Roll, this is an album you must have, this guys got the tightest groove you've ever heard! But I miss their other CD's here on Amazon. By the way, they just got a gold record for this album!. Rockpile-style modern rockabilly from Sweden... " This record comes from the "other" band, a Swedish rockabilly group that features Rockpile's Billy Bremner on guitars and vocals. Confusingly, there are two bands named "The Refreshments. If you're a fan of Nick Lowe/Dave Edmunds/Rockpile era rock, then you'll love this album. Not the real Refreshments It is not the Refreshments that many of you know from Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big & Buzzy or the Bottle & the Fresh Horses. This CD is a total waste. So, don't bother buying it, just stick to Roger Clyne's new band, The Peacemakers. You can see a complete list of all The Refreshments discography, or go back to the The Refreshments tabs
