Gin Blossoms

Unlikely pop success of the 1990s, Arizona band waved the flag of jangly power pop at height of grunge movement.

Biography

Defiantly waving the flag of power pop and jangly guitar rock at the height of the grunge movement, the Gin Blossoms proved to be an unlikely pop success in the mid 1990s. The band's 1992 breakthrough, NEW MISERABLE EXPERIENCE, produced several charting hits, including the jangle-pop classic "Hey Jealousy." Tragedy struck the band when principal songwriter and founder Doug Hopkins committed suicide in 1993. The rest of the band persevered, however, and continued to tour and record into the new millennium.
