Album Notes & Community Reviews
The major-label debut for the Sacramento-based band, which achieved significant mainstream success in the late-90s alternative scene. The album features their hit single "Why I'm Here," a track that became a staple on rock radio and propelled the album to platinum status. Sonically, 'February Son' is a polished example of the era's post-grunge sound, balancing heavy, distorted guitar riffs with strong melodic hooks and emotionally charged lyrics.
