An early emo band from Seattle on the famous Sub Pop label. They broke up early and have reunited a couple of times. But this reunion is a big deal. But what makes them a big deal for us is that their drummer, William Goldsmith, and their bassist, Nate Mendel, are who Dave Grohl first recruited for Foo Fighters. Of course Goldsmith quit/was fired early leading the way to Taylor Hawkins. But Mendel is the most senior member of the Foos except for Dave. Not sure Mendel is joining for the reunion. It doesn’t look like it but it’s unclear who is playing bass for them. Regardless, their place in the influence of music is undeniable.
