1993—The Year Dad Rock Cemented Its Legacy
Steve and Keith crank up the time machine to 1993, revisiting the year where grunge, alt-rock, and indie collided in an explosion of creativity. From late-night dorm radio at WGSU to the first season of Beavis & Butthead, they uncover the cultural threads that tied their formative music experiences together. This episode is packed with tales of Chapel Hill bands like Superchunk and Archers of Loaf, discovering Quicksand’s Slip alongside Helmet and KMFDM, and the unforgettable oddity of Ween performing on MTV Spring Break hosted by Pauly Shore.
The duo also dives into seminal albums from 1993 that continue to hold a special place in their hearts:
- In Utero by Nirvana, a raw and unfiltered masterpiece.
- Vs. by Pearl Jam, where rock met introspection.
- Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins, anthemic and lush.
- Slip by Quicksand, blending post-hardcore and alt-metal.
- Boces by Mercury Rev, a kaleidoscopic psych experiment.
They touch on genre-defining moments like Rage Against the Machine’s politically charged fury, the rise of Beck’s Loser, the enduring mystique of Tom Waits’ The Black Rider, and Phish’s Rift. They also review the latest from The Cure: Songs of a Lost World.
Tune in and take a trip back to 1993, when dad rock was evolving, and The New Dad Rock was just beginning to take shape.
Did you know that The New Dad Rock has swag? Coffee mugs, pillow and t-shirts in a multitude of colors and arm lengths.
