About this item

Fromohio is the group's inspired third album released in 1989.

STAFF COMMENTS

Laura says: One of my favourite albums of all time, similar to it's predecessor If'N, it melds folk / country with the tight musicianship and punk ethos of Mike Watt and George Hurley's previous band The Minutemen along with unusual almost jazzy time signatures and fluid, funky bass. Their sound was hard to define: a little too angular and at times folky to fit with the grunge scene that was rising up around them, put too rocky for the country folk scene. In some respects If'N and fROMOHIO were ahead of their time, as a few years later, the release of Uncle Tupelo's "No Depression" LP would kick start an explosion of alt-country / Americana bands who were much closer to their sound.
