On this 8/16/24 Nineties Friday I will be talking two albums from 1998. Two so cal pop punk bands from the same scene as Blink 182 but who didn’t see the commercial success Blink did. One band signed to a major label and one didn’t. I discuss below ⬇️
- 1998 Records
- Home Grown
- Unwritten Law
I talk these two records ⬇️
Album - Act Your Age (1998)
Band - Home Grown
Album - Unwritten Law (1998)
Band - Unwritten Law
Then I’m picking 5 tunes from each record to showcase the records ⬇️
Grow Up
Surfer Girl
Nowhere Slow
Let Go
Bad News Blair
That’s Home Grown! Here’s Unwritten Law!
Lonesome
Harmonic
Teenage Suicide
Cailin
Holiday
It’s #NinetiesFriday and I’m hoping this builds into something similar to #ThreeTuneTuesday where we have many people involved! But I gotta start so here we go! I will give 3 basic income units to a winning random post every week who uses the #NinetiesFriday tag. Also @thebighigg has jumped in to match for 6 total weekly prize! If anyone else wants to sponsor with any amount of units let me know or just send if you don’t wanna commit to weekly 👍
Going forward the same person can’t win multiple weeks in a row*
Some ideas are music, movies, television, sports, or really anything Nineties related. I assume movie or tv or music topic reviews or talk will be most common, but you could also talk a sports memory or something else. Think the Pop Culture of the times, but it would be great to hear about little known and interesting bands or entertainment items. Don’t forget to use tag #NinetiesFriday
Winner last week is @summertooth with this post! ⬇️ I especially appreciate the outta the box thinking to go with a different topic!
