The Greatest Non Hits

Text us, and Rock on!

Ready to surf the grunge wave with us? Promising a deep dive into an iconic album, we unveil the pioneering Pixies and their masterpiece, Surfer Rosa. Journey with us into the underbelly of the grunge era as we delve into the formation, minimalist post-punk sound, and profound influence of the Pixies. From the unique cover art to their influential hit songs like “Gigantic” and “Where Is My Mind?”, we'll take you on a thrilling audio exploration.
What does a hidden nod in a song title, flamenco dancers, and a 'no touching' rule in strip clubs have in common? In our wide-ranging and provocative discussions, we leave no stone unturned. We'll explore the Pixies' influence on the pre-grunge sound, investigate the hidden homage to 'Where is my Mind' in their single 'Polly', and reveal the layers of meaning in their remastered tracks. We'll even debate their top three songs and give a nod to the unmissable 'Bone Machine' and 'Gigantic'.
Daring to be different, we boldly critique the Pixies' use of feedback and their impact on the post-punk minimalist sound. We'll ignite your curiosity as we explore the homage to 'Where is my Mind' in the single 'Polly', and challenge the conventional rankings with our top three song picks. As we round off our exhilarating exploration of the Pixies and their legacy, we'll unpack their poignant single 'Brick is Red', leaving no fan or new listener behind. Join us for a compelling journey into the heart of one of the most influential bands of the grunge era.
