For example, I first heard Suburban Legends - Polyester, so I went to check Suburban Legends and they were just a regular ska band.

What's your "that song was great, I wish the band did more of that" song and band?

7 Mary 3.

They had a hit that sounded dark and grungy. "Cumbersome". The rest of the album was much less angsty/original/grungy. Disappointing.

"My My" on the same album had a lot of energy to it.

The best part was the demo version of cumbersome was so much better than the album version...WJRR in Orlando was instrumental in breaking them and it they played the original cumbersome all the time.

In my experience a lot of bands were one hit wonders with alternative music. Cracker low

Water's Edge was also on the radio at the same time and had a pretty similar sound I thought.
