Song of the Day 5/14: The Greenberry Woods, “Trampoline”
The early to mid-’90s saw an incredible wave of power pop bands that fought a losing battle for attention while the recording industry went gaga for grunge instead. One of the casualties was the Greenberry Woods, a quartet from Baltimore whose catchy hooks and jangly guitars couldn’t cut the grungy gloom that ruled rock radio in its waning days as a tastemaker. The band lasted for only two albums but gained a cult following that outlived them, and this song from their 1994 debut album “Rapple Dapple” is a big reason why.
