Gin Blossoms

Jangly and catchy, the Gin Blossoms skyrocketed out of the Phoenix bar scene in the early '90s with the one-two combination of "Hey Jealousy" and "Found Out About You," which you may have missed if you were either away from Earth during those years or have only recently regained your hearing. Their collage of college-friendly sounds combined rootsy grit with grungy modern rock to dominate the airwaves for over a year.
