RIP

Great Pacific Northwest band. If you’ve seen “Hype!” please don’t think “54/40 or Fight” is all there was to this band. Fred wrote one of the best songs to come from the grunge era, “It’s OK,” which has been covered relentlessly but never really done justice.

Sad shit.

One of my favorites......not necessarily comparing Oregon to Texas, but sick of so many songs being about TEXAS......sad news indeed!

Deep Soul Fred Cole

I remember hearing Dead Moon Night in a skate video and just being like who is this amazing band???

They have a consistently discography too. Recently collected on an anthology of sorts, which I purchased as soon as I was able. Would have preferred a Numero Group retrospective reissue series, but it’s stjll a great, 2-disc document highlighting this grizzly, manic, deeply punk band.

Really a shame about Cole.
