JEBEDIAH "slightly odway" cd,1997,#7 AU.
debut set from these Perth boys....
indi rock with loose affiliation to grunge i guess...
have toured the US with Soundgarden,Smashing Pumpkins, also quite a popular live act in Canada...
vocally, the vocalist is a bit immature sounding like Green Day but also probably due to age....his vocals did improve over the years and is now a member of the folk acoustic group Basement Birds who IMO are far better than this group...
songs on here start off poorly IMO, and improve as the album goes on, which you can see by my individual scores below...
album never did enough for me to buy any others, but they did make a few good singles over the years....
