One highly under-rated band of the 90's was Bland Melon. You may remember them from their single "No Rain" (with the bee-girl). Well, for us BM fans, their music had way more depth than that song: "Soul One," "Tones of Home", and "Changes" being my favorites.
Unfortunately, their masterful lead singer, Shannon Hoon (also of Guns-n-Roses "Don't Cry" fame) died from a drug overdose in 1999...thus ending another great band the 90's era of legendary music.
UNTIL NOW...
The original band members have acquired themselves a fantastic new front man, Travis Warren, and have put together their first album in 10 years. The album For My Friends will be released in April. But sooner than that, the single "Wishing Well" will be out March 3rd. They even have a tour going on. Check out their myspace page to her their new stuff and make a new friend. http://www.myspace.com/blindmelon
I highly recommend revisiting Blind Melon again. If you never had the pleasure in the past than I even high-ly-er recommend checking out their 90's releases for some great jam band-comfort rock. Not to mention Hoon's collaboration with G-N-R on Use Your Illusion I & II was some of that bands best stuff.
