30 Lincoln Biography by Mike DaRonco

Having emerged out of a city known for its Indians, Drew Carrey, and WKRP, Cleveland, OH is know more for its baseball team and sitcoms rather than its rock scene, but 30 Lincoln wanted to change all that. Making their debut in 1994, this four piece brought together their love for The Heartbreakers, The Ramones, The Dead Boys and Rocket From The Crypt on top of their own brand of drunken garage rock. After four years of playing throughout the Mid-West, label attention was finally caught by Chicago's Johanns Face Records who released their debut "Avanti" in 1999.

OLD PIKE Old Pike 1997

 

Discogs

Old Pike Biography by Ryan Downey

Old Pike were a five-man rock & roll band from Bloomington, IN, whose music was heavily influenced by Bruce Springsteen (most obviously apparent in frontman Tim Jones' phrasing and stage presence) and fellow Hoosier John Mellencamp. Anthem-like choruses, sentimental wordplay, murmuring organ, and a steady backbeat anchored Old Pike's somewhat alternative country take on rock music until they disbanded in the year 2000, after which point guitarist/songwriter Carl Broemel joined My Morning Jacket and frontman Jones formed Truth & Salvage Co.

DUMP International Airport 10 inch 1994

 

Discogs

Dump Biography by Jason Ankeny

Dump was the four-track solo project of James McNew, better known as the bassist of Yo La Tengo. Raised in Charlottesville, Virginia, McNew made his first home recordings at the age of 13; after attending college, he came to prominence as the bass player for Christmas, joining the group in late 1989. When they disbanded two years later, members Michael Cudahy and Liz Cox went on to form Combustible Edison, leaving McNew to join Yo La Tengo to record the 1992 effort May I Sing with Me. Although Dump came into being in January 1991, McNew did not issue any material under the name for over two years, debuting with Superpowerless, a charmingly lo-fi collection spotlighting his gentle vocals and proficiency on guitar, bass, drums, and organ. An EP of covers followed in 1995, prior to the release of the excellent 10" International Airport; the full-length I Can Hear Music rounded out the year's flurry of releases. After returning his focus to Yo La Tengo, McNew resurrected Dump in 1998 with the full-length A Plea for Tenderness; both the Women in Rock EP as well as the cassette-only Prince tribute That Skinny Motherfucker with the High Voice? followed a year later. After a five-year break, McNew returned with his most accomplished-sounding record yet, 2003's Grown-Ass Man on Shrimper. Apart from a split single with Jennifer O'Connor in 2008, McNew bided his time in Yo La Tengo, forsaking his solo project entirely.

MELISSA FERRICK Massive Blur 1993

 

Discogs

 

Melissa Ferrick Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Melissa Ferrick is a singer/songwriter who merges the introspective sincerity of folk music with an attitude and approach derived from 80s college rock influences. They first gained notice opening shows for Morrissey in the early 90s and in 1994 released Massive Blur on Atlantic, but neither it or its successor, Willing to Wait, broke the singer/songwriter into the mainstream. Ferrick carved out a niche as an independent artist starting with the release of Made of Honor on What Are Records? in 1996. As they spent time teaching at Northeastern University and Berklee College of Music, Ferrick worked steadily as a performer and recording artist, often releasing music on their own imprint, Right On Records, but later signing to Kill Rock Stars in 2023, which released their single "Black Dress."

Faith & Disease Biography by MacKenzie Wilson

Similar to the lush sounds of Mazzy Star and This Mortal Coil, the ethereal darkwave duo Faith & Disease formed the year punk broke (1991) and maintained a solid stance of sold synth-beats and gossamer lyrics in the face of Seattle counterparts Mudhoney, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. Bassist Eric Cooley and vocalist Dara Rosenwasser released the "Jardeau Blue" single in 1993, and with friend David Goebel, Faith & Disease formed their own label Ivy Records. They released five albums (Beauty and Bitterness (1993), Fortune His Sleep (1995), Live Songs: Third Body (1996), Insularia (1998), and Lamentations: A Collection (1999) under Ivy, but signed with Projekt at the close of the '90s to issue Beneath the Trees in fall 2000. Two years later, Cooley and Rosenwasser hooked up with ambient electronic guru Jeff Greinke for the lush, poetic Dream the Red Clouds EP.

Forming in mid-1995, the pair issued their debut cassette EP Daisy Smile and Kitty early the next year, and after another self-released cassette, 3, Chicklet signed to the Pasadena, CA label Satellite, a move yielding the single "Premiere." During the six months bassist Sean Bettam joined the line-up, the group recorded "Shellac" with producer Warren Defever (the track later surfaced on the Splashed with Many a Speck compilation); bassist Chris Sytnyk signed on for the 1998 EP Lemon Chandeliers, and the following year Chicklet issued their first full-length effort, Wanderlust.
