My Name "Rumpled Blanket"

by Stacia Proefrock

Tacoma-based My Name took hardcore-tinged pop-punk an extra step with their intelligent lyrics, complex drum arrangements and melodic vocal hooks. In 1992, they released their debut album, Megacrush, on Seattle label, C/Z Records. Megacrush won some critical acclaim and helped build their name in the Northwest. Soon after its release, the band gained spots on tours with All and Bad Religion, which helped build a national following for the band. In 1993, they released their second album, Wet Hills and Big Wheels.

The Trevor lip sync at 2:29 is my favorite part.

@KristinNirvana You'd have to move to Tacoma to play this kind of stuff.

@distage2 Ha, thanks, I know, I have good taste in music :p When I discovered those 4 big bands in 2004, I didn't know they were famous except for the fact that I heard the music in the 90's, I just loved them, then later on found out how famous they got, and I didn't know anyone else had heard of Kurt Cobain because I hadn't , and right away he was my favorite, and in 2005 I heard on the radio that he was the most successful dead musician, so that was my first clue to how famous it all got.
