Sebadoh began as an outlet for Lou Barlow's frustration with J Mascis, who refused to let Barlow contribute songs to any Dinosaur Jr.

Lou Barlow's Sebadoh are the genuine cult item: followed fanatically by a small but healthy group of people of no particular age or culture who may have little else in common other than an ear for smart songwriting and innovative music, and endlessly euphemised over by the music biz at large.
Sebadoh III just maybe the ultimate college rock record, a quirky but toxic mixture of indie folk-rock in the style of early R.E.M., lo-fi guitar spatterings and hard rock pop.
For the Bakesale interview he was overwhelmed by the sudden fame Sebadoh seemed to have thrust on them as some critics declared it the band's best set and started flinging flattering comparisons around placing both Barlow and Loewenstein in the upper echelon of US songwriters.

Sebadoh formed in 1989 and went through a series of drummers with Barlow and Loewenstein at the songwriting core.
The balance between the two, as physically manifested on-stage on corresponding sides of the boom-box drum machine, keeps their sound constantly engaging—there is a Sebadoh sound, but split between two ultimately different songwriters who share an aesthetic for murky, reflective, grunge-lite songwriting.
Sebadoh’s releases spanned the years when the west coast indie scene suddenly morphed into world-famous “alternative rock,” and in concert these songs strike an eerie parallel to their cross-country counterparts.

 Sebadoh: The Sebadoh ---Ink Blot Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Historically, Sebadoh has an ever-shuffling band roster, and The Sebadoh is the first to feature this particular trio (Bob Fay pounded the skins on Harmacy, their 1996 release).
Sebadoh's premier recording, Freed Weed (1989), included founding member Eric Gaffney, who intermittently disappeared and re-appeared on the scene until he left the band for good in 1993.
While Sebadoh has been many things to many people throughout their decade-long reign as kings of indie rock, I have to admit that for me, it's pretty much always been all about Lou Barlow.

So as Sebadoh entered what would be the twilight of their career as a trio, Barlow and Davis were courted by major labels for a follow-up to "The Natural One," and Folk Implosion began to look like a viable long-term vehicle for Barlow’s songwriting talents.
Nevertheless, the choice he made still surprised a number of his most fervent fans: Sebadoh were done, or at least on indefinite hiatus; and Folk Implosion, albeit a brand new version of the band, were reintroduced to the world as Barlow’s main gig in 2001 on a headlining tour with the Melvins.
People talk a lot about Sebadoh, but when we were around on those last tours, they just didn’t like us anymore.

 Sebadoh
For all the fuss that's being made about this being the first Sebadoh album on which primary songwriters Lou Barlow and Jason Lowenstein write together, perhaps it's important to note that, from the very early days, Sebadoh albums have been split-personality affairs.
On The Sebadoh, the band's eighth and first with drummer Russ Pollard, this new collective approach, which looks great on paper, ultimately fails, causing everything to drift to the unmemorable middle.
The 'doh never get truly, weepily self-loathing, which at one time was their biggest strength, nor is there any real call to smash heads upon the punk rock (though "Cuban," a silly Latino mock-up, does call for mild booty shaking).

The band has another new drummer, but Sebadoh’s nerve-racked song remains the same.
Jason Loewenstein and Lou Barlow, the manic and the depressive of Sebadoh, respectively, have often left listeners with two choices: To shift gears from track to track — between Barlow’s jilted-heart confessions and Loewenstein’s bashing about punk rock noise — or to simply hit skip to hear all the sad songs in one sitting.
On The Sebadoh, however, the two are more integrated than ever.

Sebadoh was designed as a modern version of the White Album-era Beatles: three singer-songwriters operating under one umbrella, using each other as their respective backing bands.
New project and album from former SEBADOH bassist Eric Gaffney with comrades Richard Marshall (Alice Donut, The Slings, Carlos!) and Jessica Cowley (Run For Cover Lovers), the long awaited follow-up to the Eric's *extremely saleable and popular* 'Brilliant Concert Numbers' CD from 1999 and his Sub Pop Singles Club 7" from Y2K.

 Sebadoh: Well Rounded Entertainment
Their new album, The Sebadoh, isn't really "too" anything, and instead feels kind of like not enough of everything, as it stakes out a middle ground between singer/guitarist Lou Barlow's melodic power-pop and bassist/singer Jason Loewenstein's noisy punk thrash.
Recording with their third drummer in three albums, (Russ Pollard), the trio actually sounds as tight as they've ever been (which is to say, not very), but few songs really make their presence felt.
After opening with "It's All You," a rather mild version of a typical Loewenstein rant, Barlow chimes in with "Weird," (which, unfortunately, is not a cover of the Hanson song) an innocuous rocker that begins and ends before you're likely to notice.
