SPIN Radio Network Fall 1994

Behold I have a CD rarity for you to peruse - SPIN Radio Network - a radio show that was sent out to college radio in the 1990's which featured rare versions of songs from a plethora of bands worthy of a permanent place our hearts. These old shows were part of college radio's glory days - when SUM41 and Panic! At The Disco were thankfully nonexistent and the word emo meant screaming along to your favorite Fugazi songs, not how you wore your hair. Step back in time and remember when there was no interwebs, no iPods and all you could do was record this on a cassette.

Sadly, this is the only copy of the program I have. I think I threw the others away many years ago. I know, that was a bad choice.
In any case, enjoy.

Artist Biography by Eric J. Iannelli

Inspired by bands like Ride, the Wedding Present, and Swervedriver, Fretblanket hails from the small midland U.K. town of Stourbridge. The four members -- Matt Carey (drums), Will Copley (vocals/guitar), Clive Powell (guitar/vocals), and Dave Allsopp (bass) -- met as schoolboys around 1987. After signing to the American-based Polygram Records in 1993, Fretblanket debuted with Junkfuel one year later. Home Truths From Abroad followed in 1997. Although their sophomore effort had more polish, both albums fall into a predictable style of post-grunge: raw but melodic. Comparisons immediately call bands like Bush to mind. MTV's short-lived 12 Angry Viewers awarded high ratings to "Into the Ocean," the first single from Home Truths. But the video fell out of heavy rotation and Fretblanket, further troubled by label issues, quietly slipped back to Stourbridge.
