Steel Train: A 90′s Band For the New Millenium

by Michael

So when friend and fellow blogger Aaron Gonsher asked me about going with him to see Steel Train with him on Thursday at the Bowery Ballroom, I figured I would check into them a little deeper than the random few times I had heard them before.

Now, let me tell you people, I don’t know what it is about them, but when I heard them, all I could think of was how awesome they are, and that they remind me of a 90′s band.  At first, they sounded like Weezer when they were good, but then it became less specific, and instead I was just reminded of all the greatness that was 90′s music.  At the same time though, they didn’t sound dated, instead, their sound fits perfectly in with today’s bands, as if they evolved, like they are the next step after 90′s music.

Mr. Gonsher definitely thought I was crazy when I made  that statement, but then I heard their song “Children in the 90′s” and suddenly it seems like even Steel Train is aware of their status as the 2010 90′s band.

So, with that, I officially declare that in 10 years, the kids who are currently in middle school will be getting nostalgic about Steel Train, and how music was so much better when they first started.
