also in the stereo right now...
Juliana Hatfield Three: Become What You Are--Nothing like some decent 3 minute pop ditties.
King's X: King's X and Dogman--The best Christian rock band that you wouldn't know is Christian. Actually, from what I understand, they espoused their Christian views a few years back, and Doug Pinnick (bassist/lead singer) is now gay. I just thought it was cool as hell to see a black guy rocking out in the late 80s..and their lyrics were always so off-the-wall.
Gravity Kills: Gravity Kills --Guy from Missouri gets some friends together to form a band. Band gets someone from Dallas to sing for them. Band winds up on a compilation disc issued by St. Louis's alternative station. Band's song on compilation album, "Guilty," blows up huge. Band gets record deal. Band puts out great debut album. Songs from band wind up on soundtracks to "Mortal Kombat," "Seven," and "Escape from LA." Band gets their own nail polish named after their second record, "Perversion." Nothing like seeing some local folks do well.
