Vanyaland interviewed singer-songwriter Craig Finn.
As a music fan, I think the era of pretty much ’82 to ’84 and what we think of now as the beginning of underground American music. Black Flag, but also R.E.M., Replacements, Hüsker Dü, Minutemen, etc. That’s stuff that some of it I was getting into music and I was aware of it, but I wasn’t really old enough to participate in. I think that’s Reagan too; there’s a fundamental change happening in the country that’s being celebrated by some but rebelled against by a lot of artists in an interesting way.

SPIN profiled the band Enumclaw.
Even though their ‘90s-indebted guitar tones unequivocally place them with their indie rock peers, they still want to make pop songs. As infectious singles like the electrifying “2002” and the hook-laden “Jimmy Neutron” exemplify, Enumclaw knows how to write a chorus that stands out as boldly as a Gallagher brother’s personality. “Champagne Supernova” is catchy as hell, and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” may be a surefire stadium-rouser if Oasis ever reunites, but Save the Baby’s wealth of indelible songs is solid proof that, actually, Enumclaw is the best band since Enumclaw.
