🎙 New 90s Episode
Even - Less is More
On Less Is More, Melbourne trio Even competently integrates 90s alternative and grunge sounds with power pop and British invasion melodies.
Forging a sound out of American grunge and alternative along with British Invasion hooks and power pop melodies may seem like a recipe for disaster, but on their 1996 debut Less Is More, the Melbourne, Australian trio Even find the right balance. Channeling a Kurt Cobain cadence on one track and a John Lennon howl on another works best when the band keeps the songs short and tight, with plenty of catchy guitar riffs toss around. While we dug the high energy performances that pre-date the garage rock revival to come at the end of the decade, some of the production and rhythm choices (or lack of) left us wanting.

🎙 Coming Soon on Dig Me Out 90s
Which of these albums should we review?
We've got 8 albums suggested by Dig Me Out listeners and the DMO Union is currently deciding which one we’ll make the best podcast episode. Currently, Spanaway by Seaweed is in the lead.
I want to vote for Polaris, because Pete and Pete was ahead of its time. However, I’ve been dying to hear you review Spanaway or Actions and Indications for some time now. - Jeremy Amend
Tough one. Having previously lobbed up Penny Century for a poll though, gotta put my name against it again. I love Aimee Mann though so I’m with Stupid a close second - Jason Pan
Oh man. I'm so torn because I've seen the Ween cover a zillion times back in the day and always thought it was hair metal. I wanna hear them review Spanaway as well. I voted for both. - John Seman
I prefer the songs on four by seaweed but the production on spanaway is better. Like some others have said you reviewed seaweed before so I had to choose The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Alas! sideways is my favourite men without hats album because of the guitars. ahhh it's a flip of a coin. An absolute ripper of a poll lads!! I flipped that coin and the cover art for pete & pete wins out. - Richard Waterman
