Indianapolis, Indiana duo Rocking Chair square the circle you didn't realise needed squaring between The Replacements and Meat Puppets, on latest record Drop Cruiser,
It's a record which mostly seems to exists in terms of mindset in those great mid Eighties years when these bands, along with peers, Husker Du, R.E.M. Minuremen, Camper Van Beethoven, Butthole Surfers et al, were in full flight and anything seemed possible.
Drop Cruiser, echoes the slacker, anything is possible attitude and eclecticism of those years and the ones which followed, and tracks like Weight have genuine Nirvana-esque elasticity and attitude. A record with genuine momentum that rewards a whole play and perhaps more.
