Four Way Street
"Pretzel Park"
Released in 2003
This is a special album for me. It came out right when the first issue of my magazine, Upstage, came out. I was at their record release party, interviewed them for the mag, and they were in the first issue. This one of the rare albums where I can say there isn't a single weak song. My favorites are "Change Gonna Come", "Shoot the Moon", "Annie Also Ran", and "Ceremony." Sadly, this was the band's only studio release. Many of the members would go on to form U.S. Rails. ** This is one of my favorite albums of all time.
Sadly, this album is not available online.

Makin Waves Song of the Week: "Gibraltar" by Defecting Grey
Each year-end coverage of Makin Waves features "The Dirty Jersey Dozen," a list of the 12 indie Jersey music acts that made the most waves. Two bands that likely would be on the all-time Dirty Jersey list are Gigantic, a Jersey Shore trio inspired by the primal pop of The Pixies and Nirvana, and Alternative Tentacles recording act Buzzkill, also a trio from the days when New Brunswick was the state's best music scene.
