Presidents Of The United States Of America

Who else likes this band? Personally they are great fun and write good catchy tunes. They are the latest 90's band that decided to reunite. Their new album is so-so...but their self titled debut is pretty cool.

They're a fun band, nothing more, nothing less. Though Lump can get really annoying. Most of the other stuff on their debut is OK though.

I like them quite a bit. I won't look into their new album because I know it'll be average.

i have s/t on yellow vinyl and it's really pretty.

I remember Peaches, of course, I loved that song. Aside from that, all I know is a song of their that Duff McKagan was on.

Do you mean Kim from Soundgarden?

I remember having the "Peaches" cassette single. It was orange! Their first album is darn nifty and remains in my collection.

i have their s/t and II...they're just good to have went you want to listen to something catchy and not so serious. i always thought they were a little overlooked considering that their s/t is pretty solid in terms of quality. ill probably buy their new album eventually.

A really fun band. I was listening to them awhile back, and I sort of forgot about them until just a few days ago. I'll probably be listening to their CD again soon.

I got their self titled debut 10 years ago for Christmas. It'll always have a place in my heart.

I also had II but gave it to a relative. I want it back, it was a special edition with a live CD thing.

I just started listening to the Presidents this summer, besides Peaches or Lump which if you lived in the United States during the mid 90's were impossible not to hear. My favorite song is back porch.

Man I remember back when my mate and I were young and listening them like they were the greatest thing ever. I'm not knocking them, I loved those days.

They're a fun band with some good songs, but nothing to write home about.
