Nick Cave quits the Bad Seeds, moves to Seattle and opens the Bates motel. While thinking about his divorce, and other misanthropic thoughts, he is stricken with a vision that he must start a band with loud guitars and be recorded by the legendary Jack Endino. The result is amazing.....

I bought this disc in Seattle a day before they did an in store appearance at Sonic Boom Records and can't believe I missed it....

First you must imagine everything cool and badass in this world. Picture the most perfect portrait of rock n roll attitude: dressed in leather, shaggy hair, cigarette in hand, and a look in the eyes that says "Screw it, I'll do what I want"
Now, imagine that in musical form.
Post Stardom Depression is in so many ways the perfect Rock band. Their basic 1 guitar, bass, drums, and vocals blend perfectly with their artisticly flowing and catchy lyrics without loosing one ounce of cool. Songs like "Honeymoon Killer" or "Who Cares Come On" can hardly go played without rocking out and singing along to every word.
I would compair these guys to another great band, but I have really yet to find anything that quite competes with them. It's straight-up, new, edgy ROCK-N-ROLL baby!

The majors need to stop being afraid of Seattle and pick this band up. After all, to the majors it's all about cash and this band is cash waiting to happen. Hats off to Endino on production. Great musicians, great songwriters and what a voice. This is rock n roll as it should be. Thanks PSD for taking us into the next century. BUY THIS CD!

Can't believe no one knows these guys. This is the album that 3 Doors Down, Seether, Chevelle, etc. wanna be known for. It could be a soundtrack for a cool movie. Think of 3000 Miles to Graceland, but alot more fun!! Don't necessarily dig Monster, but after that, the ride begins.
