What you may not know is that Sebadoh has a new drummer, Russ Pollard. And whether it's thanks to Russ or just thanks to getting a little older and wiser, The Sebadoh finds Lou, Jason Lowenstein and their new bandmate operating more like a singular creative unit then ever before-something that Lou, for one, finds refreshing. "I feel like I've never been in a band before," he says exitedly, when discussing the froup dynamics and shared creative imput. "We always just gave each other so much room before, that it almost felt like we were making solo records under a band name. "Break Free," in fact, is the first song Russ ever recorded in a studio, which just goes to show what can happen when three people work really hard to develop a dynamic based on friendship, honesty, and trust. "We're really close now," chuckled Lou, noting that the bandmates-who live in separate parts of the country-speak to each other on the phone nearly everyday. In one of the songs, "Tree," Sebadoh invites us to "See how we've grown." See it. Hear it. Feel it. |

You
probably know by now that Sebadoh has been a major musical influence
on an entire generation of young people-fans Spin once referred
to as "fanzine reading misfits who never got to slow kiss to
Bread at the the high school gym dance." You probably also
know that Lou Barlow, founding member of Sebadoh, is also one half
of Folk Impression.
