Old 97's/Pedigo’s Magic Pilsner

The Old 97’s are more than just another angsty 90s/early 2000s rock band; they have always had a unique flare. The guys are effortlessly cool and stray away from sounding like they are trying too hard at any point in their catalogue. “Every Night Is Friday Night (Without You)” is a well-crafted grievance with perfectly blended instrumentals. “Champaign Illinois” is a morning after anthem that parallels a life that was wasted. The melancholy of the party lifestyle and the end of such days is expressed in the most insightful of ways. “Question” is a bit more stripped down. The acoustic ballad is about taking chances and living and learning. (Weber)
