Product Description
From Amazon.com
They may seem like the latest in an endless line of overnight sensations, but San Francisco foursome Stroke 9 have been playing together for over 10 years. They formed the group as a high-school senior project, and jammin' 'n' groovin' since their teens has given Stroke 9 the kind of musical chemistry many outfits only dream of. Theirs is a story similar to that of teen-sensation-turned-multiplatinum rock band Live, and appropriately, Stroke 9 worked with Live producer (and ex-Talking Heads keyboardist) Jerry Harrison on their debut album, Nasty Little Thoughts. An upbeat collection of strummy rockers and jangly ballads, the album combines the earnestness of a band like R.E.M. with the hook-laden songcraft of acts like the Connells and the Counting Crows. Luke Esterkyn's vocals are consistently emotional without sacrificing melody, and guitarist John McDermott coaxes a rainbow of textures and tones from his instrument without straying from the simple core rhythms of the songs. But most importantly, Stroke 9's energetic pop is utterly infectious, making songs like "City Life" and "Little Black Backpack" echo through your head long after you click off the CD player. --Jon Wiederhorn

This review is from: Nasty Little Thoughts (Audio CD)
They disappeard off the face of the earth after this raucous CD and you just wiped your ass to say what???? Wanna get away from mainstream hype, then this CD is the way to do it. After repeated listens, you beg, more???? Little Black Backpack. Sounds funny? A top 10 hit on Billboard's modern rock chart. A no-brainer for a follow-up, then bam }:-( Worth checkin out.

This review is from: Nasty Little Thoughts (Audio CD)
I loved the songs when I heard them on the radio, yet I didn't have this CD until 5 years after it's release!! I feel like a complete jackass because it is REALLY good. If you've been mulling it over for a few years, today is the day. It's SOOOO worth it to buy. It's one of my top 5 favorite CDs ever. It really grows on you FAST.

This review is from: Nasty Little Thoughts (Audio CD)
This cd kicksass from the first track to the last. This is one of my favorite cds to blast in my car during the summer months. This album has everything from good old alternative rock to your sad love songs. I still listen to this cd 5 years after buying it.
