Speaking of Seam`s Headsparks,there`s a version of Grain that appeared on a single that rocks harder than the album version.I think this might be it:

hey man, nice review of Midwest Pen Pals. made me check it out instantly :)

I also bought Accelerate right when it came out, peak of my REM fandom. Back in the day

Good to see the 4 stars for Versus! I was listening to them yesterday,The Stars Are Insane album.I still love this band

@sundazed like a cross between the Spinanes and Sonic Youth

Yeah Sonic Youth are a big influence on them though they claim their fav bands are Yes,Kiss and Mission Of Burma.Actually they got their name from the Mission of Burma album from 1982

@sundazed thanks for all the recs, I'll get to them. just a massive backlog of albums to get through

your rating system makes me disproportionately happy
