Let Your Dim Light Shine

Polished mid-nineties alternative rock balancing gritty bar-band energy with massive, radio-ready hooks and Dave Pirner's signature raspy earnestness.

The perfect soundtrack for when you're feeling cynical but still want to sing along at the top of your lungs.

A weary, cynical, yet anthemic collection of songs that feels like a long night in a familiar city.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive, self-deprecating chorus of 'Misery' that became a generational anthem.

The weary, country-tinged slide guitar and organ swell during 'Promises Broken'.

The aggressive, punk-leaning drum fill that kicks off 'Caged Rat'.

The vulnerable, stripped-back acoustic opening of 'Eyes of a Child' before the full band enters.
