The 90's were rich with various styles of punk and hardcore... from the straight forward New Age Records stuff to the more emo and discordant Ebullition style... and I love all of it.
I loved Native Nod back in the 90's and like many bands of this style, time and time again they will pop on my radar and I won't be able to get enough of them. For the past three years, Native Nod just keeps coming back for me... a song will catch my ear and I'll be back to obsessing over their three record, nine song, output all over again.
I never bought the Zither 7 inch back in the day. Gern Blandsten had released the Native Nod discography CD around the same time as that last Native Nod 7 inch, and at the time the CD was all that I needed. 30 years later and I keep coming back to this band over and over, and I needed to correct errors of the past and finally get that 7 inch. I put that record on my Discogs want list, but for years it seemed like the only sellers that had it available were from overseas. It was odd... like why were there no US sellers with this at a reasonable price? Last year my call was finally answered and I was able to pick this up. Damn, this sound is so good and it will now most likely push me to listen to this 90's emo sound for the next couple of weeks at least.
