I can't begin to count how many times I've listened to the original versions of these songs. I started listening to Lagwagon and Bad Astronaut while in middle school, under the recommendation of my brother. I loved the music then, and actually love it more now. The lyrics are timeless to me and strike a new chord every time I listen to them.
The highlight of Lagwagon and Bad Astronaut is not so much the instrumentation, but rather the vocals of lead singer and guitarist Joey Cape. Joey's vocals and the emotion he puts into them every song set him apart from other artists. You may have never heard of them before, but Joey, Lagwagon & Bad Astronaut have been throwing them back for almost 20 years and these videos seem to suggest that they are not calling it quits soon.
Each song seems to pack a mixture of passion and tension that is hard to find nowadays. Raw emotion reflecting facets of the human condition. These and other songs by The Caper & Crew will forever be favorites of mine and now I pass them on to you. I hope you enjoy ride, for with these lyrics there is no place to hide. Yours Truly, SirChuckD.
