MissioNaries - Superficial Self-Amusement (1995) Full Album
Mid-90's alt-rock band from Miami, Oklahoma. I bought this CD probably 15 years ago? from the used bin, based on the cover art alone. Came out a winner on that $3 purchase. Just figured them a really good, but a tragically one-off band that whack-a-moled on the scene. You can Google the band and album and title, but you won't get very far; the Discogs page, and an old review where it seems the reviewer can't decide whether they like them or not. But they keep comparing them to the band Live. Ehhhh. The MissioNaries sound straight-up Minneapolis to me: The Replacements, Soul Asylum, Bob Mould, with a dose of Buffalo Tom and Gin Blossoms thrown in. This was recorded at the Legendary Red House Studios in Lawrence, KS by the even more Legendary Ed Rose from the mighty Kill Creek, I don't think the bands from that scene have any other ties to this band, just a cool piece of info. Anyway, released in 1995 on Outback records. Enjoy.
**Oh yeah, as I was not able to get in contact with any band members to get permission beforehand, if any of you see this and would like this to be taken down, just leave a comment or message me directly. Thanks. **
