Dinosaur Jr are appearing at Asylum, September 2022.
One of a handful of bands injecting life into indie rock music in the late 1980s, Dinosaur Jr.’s trademark sound remains a mix of simple melodies, passionate vocals and overpowering guitar noise, all led by singer songwriter J Mascis.
In the decades since the release of Dinosaur Jr.’s original triptych of foundational albums, it has become clear that their sound — once hailed as a sort of almost-tamed noise — is/was/always-has-been fully functioning pop music of a sort. The subsequent generations of bands who grew up breathing Dino’s fumes managed to tinker around with the edges of their original post-hardcore song-forms enough for listeners to realize there had always been melodies at the centre of everything they did. What Dinosaur Jr.. produces is nothing but a beautiful new version of the rock continuum — riff, power, beat and longing, created with an eye on the infinite future.
