My Album Of The Week for the week of September 9th-15th, 2013:
12 Rods - Split Personalities
I was up at The Electric Fetus the other day poking through their used CD's when I stumbled onto this bad boy for $4.99. In my quest to familiarize with a wider variety of Twin Cities music (both past & present), I thought that was a worthy investment.
I don't know much about 12 Rods (with the exception of a track called "Astro Gimp" of the Twin Town High Vol. 4 compilation). I do know that they're one of those bands that routinely turns up on lists of Twin Cities bands that people wish would reunite. I also know that they're halcyon days were the last 90's and that they looked like this:
If that doesn't scream "Alternative Nation Buzz Bin!" than I don't know what does. As somebody whose halcyon days were also in the late 90's I can definitely get behind this.
