Kill Holiday - Somewhere Between the Wrong Is Right | 90s Album Review

Author: Dig Me Out April 22, 2025 Duration: 37:55
Kill Holiday, formed by members of San Diego hardcore band Unbroken, made a surprising shift from aggressive post-hardcore to dreamy shoegaze with their 1999 album Somewhere Between the Wrong and the Right. Released on Revelation Records, the album channels British influences like Ride and The Stone Roses, with shimmering guitars and laid-back, melancholic melodies. Despite its shoegaze and Britpop sound, the album resonates with the emotional core of the emo genre, more in feeling rather than form, standing out as a reflective, genre-crossing record from a label known for hardcore.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Somewhere Between the Wrong Is Right 11:49 - Someday You Will Lose and I Will Win 18:21 - Know You Your Friends Are Outro - In Closing (Memorial Day)   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Remember that band you loved in 1997 whose CD got buried in a moving box, or the one-hit-wonder that vanished from the radio? Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock is for anyone who believes that era’s alternative and rock scene still has stories left to tell. This isn't just a nostalgia trip; it's a dedicated excavation. Each week, the hosts go deep, pulling one specific album from the shelves for a track-by-track discussion that feels like friends debating in a record store. They explore what made that record work, why it might have faded from view, and where it stands today. The conversation often expands into roundtable discussions about genres, trends, and the cultural shifts that defined the decades, sometimes even featuring conversations with the artists who were there. Listening to this podcast feels like rediscovering a part of your musical history you’d almost forgotten, presented with a genuine enthusiasm that’s contagious. You’ll hear more than just the big hits from the era; you’ll get the deep cuts, the missed opportunities, and the albums that deserved a second chance. If your music collection was built on college radio, mixtapes from friends, and liner notes, this podcast provides the thoughtful commentary and deep knowledge that those albums always warranted. Tune in to reconnect with the sounds that shaped a generation and maybe find your next favorite album from a band you never knew you missed.
