Nice tune Sludgey. Not heard it before. I guess I lumped the band in with the (mostly) dreadful grunge movement of the early 1990sQuote:

Sound garden......hard Rock , Pearl Jam .....ditto
Stone Temple Pilots , Screaming Trees , Alice In Chains all good rock bands liked by people wearing silly ripped jeans
Mudhoney were/are the best of the lot. They never got what they deserved. I found out recently(ish) that every member has always held down a full time job. Tragic.Quote:

‘Let me come over’ is a great LP of its type, the one after was good too. Saw them once in London a fair few years ago now. Do think they get fairly lumped in with the (American) student crowd though Sludgey, definite 90s college rock.Quote:

And a third whilst they came to mind.

Dirty loops ...(!?!?!?)

From times gone by there was a local S Wales band called Kooga (formally Preacher) released an album called Across the water.Would have put my bottom dollar on them making big time.
Tidy that, here's my offering:

The Adventures went on to to chart very low with a couple. But the latter never made it.
For anyone who likes a bit of Industrial Dance I'll put Nitzer Ebb into the mix

Husku Du
Bad Brains.
Buthole Surfers.
Big Black.

I'm am slowly recalling the greats that were underrated
Green on Red
The Replacements
Jessie Malin Ex D Generation ( playing Newport Soon Le Pub 21st June 2022)
Long Ryders
Jason and The Scorchers
For those folk who like the unsung hero's of music Bob Mold of Husku Du , who in my mind have paved the way for Pixies, Nirvana, the Foo Fighters, Metallica, Green Day and many more plays the Globe in June 28.
The ‘Mats are definitely one of those sort of doomed, “shoulda been a contender ‘ma” type bands. Loved their stuff from the beginning till ‘pleased to meet you’.Quote:

Mentioned Red on Green and I did have a bit of a re-listen to those Paisley Underground bands recently. Rain Parade in particular I liked a bit.
As you mentioned Big Black I thought I’d post Cardiff’s own answer (Slowjam): https://youtu.be/QzA19BnsdGE
Minor Threat , Fugazi
Gentle Giant, a really underrated prog-rock band:

John Weathers (drummer) originally from Carmarthen. He later moved to Swansea and played with Man after Gentle Giant disbanded.

Talk Talk.Mark Hollis was hugely talented but how many people knew his name? A sad loss.
Colosseum (from 1970) featuring the excellent, Chris Farlowe:

Good shout. Although not necessarily underrated, just not particularly successful. Although, Lee Mavers probably bears some responsibility for that.Quote:
