Episode 685: John Davis (Superdrag)
from RiYL
Few who have walked the Earth can write a pop song like John Davis. That prowess catapulted his group, Superdrag to massive success on the back of its 1996 single, "Sucked Out." The group's trajectory from there isn't wholly dissimilar from other groups who released a hit during the decade. The music business took an aggressive turn, culminating in the muddy horror show that was Woodstock 99, all while Superdrag was releasing its best and most mature work on indie labels. His latest record, Jinx recaptures the Superdrag magic, while taking things in a different, more stripped down direction, owing to the circumstances around its recording. Transcript available here.
