#788 Elastica - Elastica

I am familiar with one of the songs on this album,  as far as I can tell it is the only hit the band had, and this is the only album that the band released. Why does a band go through the struggles of trying to get a record contract, then release a debut album, which was pretty successful and then never record another? That's a great question. In this case after the release of this album the band was sued by a number of other bands for plagerism stating that a number of Elastica's songs sound too close to theirs. Ultimately the band went into the studio to record a second album but due to internal issues the band broke up.

The album was pretty good, and I can definitely see some comparisons to future bands that would form like Garbage, Hole and Evanescence.

"Connection" - this is a great song
