SEAWEED – Service Deck/The Weight

We’re taking this back to the 1990s with this one, ladies and gentlemen. You might have caught their video for the song “Kid Candy” on “Beavis and Butt-Head.” Maybe you’ve heard their cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way” in the Kevin Smith film Clerks. Tacoma, Washington’s Seaweed were quite active in the ’90s and fell off into obscurity — that is, until now. This two-song seven inch features the reformed band, including original vocalist Aaron Stauffer and guitarists Clint Werner and Wade Neal. Both songs pick up where the band left off with their mix of punk rock and grunge. “Service Deck” is full of catchy guitar licks and a addictive driving beat, while “The Weight” spotlights the drumming of Jesse Fox. Newer (and younger) fans, along with longtime fans should enjoy this small sample of the newly reformed Seaweed.
