Sponge Rotting Piñata
Emerging from Detroit, Sponge released their debut album Rotting Pinata in the summer of 1994 at a time where the world was preparing for life following Cobain's death. Rotting Pinata is a melodic alternative rock album with post-grunge elements of the 90s, deserving more credit and recognition than probably has. It is full of strong melodies and infectious choruses, without necessarily being lyrically sophisticated. Tony recommends: "Drownin'", "Plowed", "Rotting Pinata", "Molly (Sixteen Candles)", "Giants".r		3.5

The Night Flight Orchestra Give Us The Moon
Give Us The Moon is an album full of positive vibes, infectious energy and memorable choruses. Rock and roll straight from the 80s and with disco garnishes here and there ('Like the Beating of a Heart' and 'A Paris Point of View', 'Give Us the Moon'), the Swedes pull out a fun record to listen. Kiss, Journey and Foreigner are some of the bands that can cited as influences, given the classic rock/AOR character the band tries to emulate. Recommendations: "Miraculous", "Like the Beating of a Heart", "Shooting Velvet", "Give Us the Moon"		3.5

My Sister's Machine Diva
Diva is a solid yet overlooked record by Seattle-based band My Sister's Machine. It's heavy and aggressive sound bridges perfectly the late-80s metal scene with the early-90s alternative one. The term 'grunge-metal' is not an exaggeration, given this is a collection of angry and noisy songs with raw energy and a strong rhythm section. Singer and lyricist Nick Pollock had played guitar in an early incarnation of Alice in Chains with vocalist Layne Staley, as they called themselves Alice N' Chains. As a result, the similarities with early Alice in Chains are clear and obvious here. Tony recommends: "I Hate You", "Wasting Time", "I'm So		3.5

My Little Funhouse Standunder
My Little Funhouse, a band from southeast Ireland, were originally signed by Geffen Records as the next GnR's. Alan Lawlor's thin and crisp vocals reminded me bands like The Graveyard Train and Cinderella, while brothers Brendan and Anthony Morrissey provide some tasteful guitar melodies. Not exactly a glam band but not really an alternative one either, My Little Funhouse was one of the many victims of the social shift happening in the early 90s, the moment in which a blond guy appeared with a guitar in an indoor basketball court. It is one of the bands with the potential to go big, considering that Standunder contains a handful of c		3.5

Sugartooth Sugartooth
Sugartooth's self-titled debut is an overlooked album from the 90s alternative rock scene. It blends grunge and stoner rock nicely with some sludge-driven riffs and a raw, heavy sound. The album's best tracks are found mainly in the first half with the highlights being "Sold My Fortune", "Leave My Soul to Rest", "Tuesday Morning" and "Cracks in the Pavement". Underrated? maybe, but definitely not a 'masterpiece'.r		3.0

I Mother Earth Dig
Rooted in the early 90s alternative scene, Dig is the debut album of Ontario-based rockers I Mother Earth. I found this to be is an interesting release as there is a mixture of alternative rock infused with heavy metallic riffs at times and funky basslines at others. The album's best moments are concentrated in the first half where tracks like the angst-ridden 'Levitate', the heavy 'Rain Will Fall' and the rhythmic 'Not Quite Sonic' appear. Many tracks are stretched due to extended jamming and while this may seem as a merit, in many times it becomes weary.		3.0

Satchel EDC
Satchel is a Seattle-based alternative rock band of the early 90s, formed by Shawn Smith (vocals) and Regan Hagar (drums). Satchel was a spin-off of their previous band Brad, after the latter went on a hiatus. EDC which was the band's debut album, was released in 1994 with guitarist John Hoag, bassist Cory Kane and Jefferson Bennett on saxophone. The band's love for movie Reservoir Dogs is depicted by some dialogue clips from the film, as well as song titles such as . Mr. White," "Mr. Pink," and "Mr. Brown" named after the movie's characters. This is a hidden gem of the 90s, suitable for those looking something beyond the typical gr		3.0
