MONSTER
Monster is the fourth and final studio album by the American Alternative rock band Fetchin Bones, released on June 9, 1989 through Capitol Records. (More from Wikipedia)
With their final album, Monster (1989), Fetchin Bones had mastered a sound that presaged the grunge sound that was to come in the following decade; but the band was always out of step. In the beginning, they were alternative rock even before anyone really knew what that was, and their sound became the template for the riot grrrl movement as well. Their albums are quite good; I used to see their videos occasionally on MTV’s late-night alternative-rock showcase 120 Minutes, and they were briefly college-radio favorites. They should have been FM Radio hitmakers as well, though it never happened.
