Feeble was a pop-punk band from California in the 90s. Travis Barker (from blink-182) played drums; apparently this was his first band out of high school. Given that pedigree, I was a little unsure of what to expect, and frankly it took me a couple spins to get into this. Mostly the vocals surprised me, they have an uncanny resemblance to 90s rock. Dude hits a far greater range than I was prepared for, even from a pop-punk band. But after I got over my prejudice, I discovered that this is actually tight album, with cool guitar riffs and song structure in general. Pretty good sound quality, and lots of energy. Lyrics are pretty good, not actually as divorced from hardcore themes as the vocals would imply. The music can be a little smarmy (the intro, and this one ska-ish part), but they do play a Dag Nasty cover, and overall I'm impressed. And the drumming is, of course, solid.
Track Listing:
- Song For My Father
- Planet Me
- Remember
- Best Friends For Tonight
- Trying (Dag Nasty)
