Fronted by singer/songwriter/guitarist J Mascis, Dinosaur Jr.. formed in Massachusetts in 1984. Their emergence was a musical shot heard round the world as Mascis and company put the heroics of lead guitar back into the forefront of the indie rock realm-amazingly, it was a revolutionary idea at the time. Post-punk and pre-grunge, they were an intense force to be reckoned with, and when the band signed to Sire in '91, Mascis' shredding unique alt-rock sound was cranked up for vast new audiences of eardrums. These expanded re-masters of Dinosaur Jr..'s first two major label albums spotlight one of the most distinctive and influential artists of the '90s in prime form.
