Thursday, Killwhitneydead, This Is Hell, Capital, I Am the Avalanche confirmed for Seaweed tribute
The first batch of confirmed bands has been announced for Engineer's tribute to 90s-era punk/post-punk act Seaweed. The Tacoma, Washington-based band started out releasing material on their own Leopard Gecko imprint in 1989, before moving
onto a vinyl single with K Records, signing to Sub Pop a few years later for their career building albums
"Despised," "Weak," and "Four." Then Hollywood Records picked the band up in 1993 and released their largest album
to date, 1995's "Spanaway," their bombastic major label offering. Lasting only 1 album on Hollywood, the band and
label unhitched and Seaweed then moved back to the indies. Merge Records issued their final release in 1999,
"Actions and Indications" turned into their swan song and the band split later the same year. Seaweed's decade
of existence came to an end.
A diverse range of bands has been confirmed for the disc including Thursday, Killwhitneydead, This Is Hell, Capital, I Am the Avalanche, Stephen Brodsky, Kover, and others.
