GARDEN VARIETY 'Garden Variety' LP

The 1993 split point between pop punk and emo is no better illustrated than by Garden Variety's self-titled debut. While Samiam and Jawbreaker flirted with the mainstream, this Long Island trio proposed at the post-hardcore prom. Muscular octave guitar chug with a side of late night zine work at the local diner. Backbeat heartbreak, hold the FX. Thank Charles Maggio for your fav record next time you see him at the Paramus mall.
