Boilermaker
Boilermaker- Norman
I've been devouring the 90's and late 90's San Diego music scene.. You know, the scene where the real emo came from? Yeah this is that kind of music.
Boilermaker played alongside No Knife in San Diego. They sound a bit like Sunny Day Real Estate.. They're both pioneers after all. And modern bands- The not so good ones- Like Jimmy Eat World cite Boilermaker as their primary influence.. Which I think is a shame. Poor Boilermaker.
Their isnt much to them. Their CDs were produced by a member Drive Like Jehu.. Another band that I intend to write about. After one CD the normal guys of Boilermaker were overwhelemed with the attention they stirred up (understanably) and went into hibernation. Their first CD, the only one Ive listen to.. Is AMAZING. I feel bad because I like all the songs as much as Ill like only one song on a Cd.
This track which is featured here is from that CD. However, they did come out with another CD before disbanding in 2000. These guys got together with the drummer of No Knife to create the Jade Shader- Which will be featured next week. Sorry if this is a bit scrappy- Alot is going on! Woot to the new domain name.
Bye!

Boilermaker was a song from the album Liar by The Jesus Lizard, which released in 1992. It's often said that many emo bands grew out of grunge bands, and while The Jesus Lizard was more of a noise experimentational band similar to Big Black or Rapeman, and containing members from Scratch Acid, they were very closely associated with grunge bands. The point being that said song may be where they got their name.
You probably hit the nail right on the head! It's true, bands like Fugazi were the seeds that created the roots of real emo.
Great insight.
