This week we're discussing every album by Squirrel Bait. Formed in Louisville in the early 80s, Squirrel Bait was a huge influence on what would eventually become emo. While their sound is far closer to Washington DC emo-core bands like Rites of Spring and Embrace, they made a significant impact within their short existence. Members of Squirrel Bait later went on to form Slint, Bastro, and Gastr Del Sol, among others.
[I realize at one point I accidentally say "Alex MacKaye" instead of "Alec." I'm sure there are other errors in this video, but that's the only one driving me crazy.]
