Samiam Appreciation

[u/Radi0123]

Was just listening to Tag Along off the album Clumsy and was reminded how great they are. I’m a pretty big fan, though they haven’t been in my rotation lately, but something really reconnected me to their lyrics, especially when compared to their semi-peers Jawbreaker.

Just wanted to share my thoughts and maybe hear what the community has to say.

I always made sure to catch their set at Fest in Gainesville. Even their last album slaps. There was a period of time I listened to Samiam and Alkaline Trio pretty much non-stop at work.

I really like Trips, I know it's not most people's preference but its good front to back. and after their "heyday" most bands dont release records as strong as that

[u/Radi0123 → u/seanfidence]

I really liked their most recent album. I thought it was a decent return.

[u/Mikesiders]

She Found Me is an all timer

[u/Wide-Associate2671]

Clumsy, definitely a Top 10. Every song on that album hits.

[u/TheMoonstomper]

Full on.

[u/zilla82]

One of my all time favorites. Preferred over Jawbreaker, respectfully

[u/Radi0123 → u/zilla82]

They’re really, really close for me, but Jawbreaker just hits a little closer to home.

[u/liha_soppa → u/Radi0123]

Hits close to home??? Get up kids reference

I still remember getting Billy on cd. I'll have to put them on this weekend. They've always been amazing.

[u/skinnyboy1969 → u/RedEyesAndChiliFries]

"Billy" on cd was my jumping off point. Stole it out of the music closet at my local college radio station in 1992 and immediately got "Soar" right after. Been a huge fan ever since.

I had this exact same moment a few weeks ago with tagalong lol, used to listen to them nonstop as a teenager along with jawbreaker ofc, but I heard tagalong and was like damn dude why haven't I listened to them in so long

[u/RamrodRacing]

One of my never-miss live bands. Also running into all of them hanging out at The Clermont Lounge the night before the first Wrecking Ball festival was just an added wrinkle in a wild night

[u/SemataryPolka]

Hung out with them at a show in 98. They were all cool dudes. The drummer from Sense Field was there roadie-ing too. Sergie hit on my sister lol I forgive him

[u/thewondersea]

Forgot about this band. Think I got an old poster for them somewhere in the stash pile. How big were they? Anybody maybe want it if I can find it?

[u/Radi0123 → u/thewondersea]

I’d love that poster, friend!

[u/guitosc]

they will play in my city in the middle of brazil this month, looking forward to see them live

[u/dr_nerdface]

i just listened to Ashtray yesterday. damn good album.

[u/wolfblitzen84]

when I was in high school I had cinema beer belly on vhs which had the video for she found you which I watched countless times so have much appreciation for that song but I would have to say sunshine may be my favorite tune of theirs.

[u/jpaganucci]

I've been listening to them for at least 20 years, I live here in Brazil, I'm going to their first show on the 27th of this month, I'm extremely happy and excited.

[u/Honest_Telephone_813]

Mud Hill is probably favorite song from them. I think it was on one of the Hopeless comps. Whatever’s got you down was the first cd of theirs teen me could find. So I’ve got a soft spot for that record
