American Music Club - Ex-girlfriend
I'd forgotten how powerful Mark Eitzels' vocal is, and in fact how good the songs of American Music Club can be. A band with a rocky on/off past which saw seven albums released, they disbanded in 1996 and have since reformed and released a new album which I haven't heard.
American Music Club are a band where the word 'tormented' often appeared in reviews, Ex-girlfriend seems to be a similarly distraught song with a fantastic sound scape of noise. This track is from the album 'Everclear', apparantly named after a 180 proof spirit as Mark Eitzel was known to be fond of a drink.

The C90 rating:

This album was suprisingly good, I think I'll add to the wish list for future purchasing.
