| | Modest Mouse (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Issaquah, Washington's Modest Mouse is known in indie rock circles for its angular, warping chords, poetic, desolate lyrics, and intricate, mesmerizing drums. |
 | | Initially the four-track project of a suburban malcontent named Isaac Brock, by 1993 Modest Mouse was a bona fide band, featuring Brock, permanent drummer Jeremiah Green, former bassist John Wickhart, and former second guitarist Dann Gallucci (who went on to cofound the Murder City Devils). |
 | | A slew of releases followed soon after: also in 1996, the band put out their Interstate 8 EP, and followed that with 1997's critically acclaimed The Lonesome Crowded West LP (both were on Up). |
