Menthol - Menthol | Album Review
from Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock · host Dig Me Out
Chicago and the surrounding areas like Champaign-Urbana nurtured a big guitar rock sound found in the Smashing Pumpkins, Hum, Catherine, Veruca Salt, Fig Dish, and others. Originally called Mother for their debut, the band signed to a major label, changed their name to Menthol, and produced an album worthy of that group with 1995's self-titled release. But the band takes a different approach vocally, spitting big chunks of lyrics filled with a variety of references and twisted wordplay.

Capable 26:35 - Perfect Spirals 32:58 - Briefcase Full Of Cash Outro - Francis Scott Key Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon. Listen to the episode archive at DigMeOutPodcast.com.
