The descending refrain opening the song isn’t unusual but attention is instantly attracted as it’s played on a harpsichord. Equally instantly, an elegiac atmosphere is set.

Few bands come out of the gate sounding as genuinely unique and beholden to little that came before as Camper Van Beethoven did when their debut album, Telephone Free Landslide Victory, first appeared in 1985.

You’re No Big Deal explores the grunge iceberg extensively, collecting over 80 tracks of heavy, ragged, and righteous noise recorded between 1984 and 1994 by some of the most- and least-known acts in and around the grunge movement. The tracks here were curated with help from Mark Arm, whose late-‘80s band Green River starts things off with the crude and metallic “Come On Down.”
Iconoclassic Records is headed to the “Dark Side” with the first-ever anthology from the real-life band behind Hollywood’s Eddie and The Cruisers:
