Dinosaur Jr - Topic

DINOSAUR JR. is widely recognized as one of the most significant American rock bands 
of all time. Preceding Nirvana by several years, Dinosaur Jr. was instrumental in bringing 
the crashing sounds of lead guitar back to indie rock. It wasn't just the band’s signature 
metallic haze that made an impression on listeners; front man J Mascis’ effects-laden 
guitars were wrapped around some of the best songwriting of the decade. The first three 
albums, Dinosaur, You're Living All Over Me and Bug, are now considered cult masterpieces.
When the original line-up of Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow and drummer Murph re-formed in 
2005 for select live dates, it was apparent that the years apart had not eroded any of their 
vitality. It was natural that Dinosaur  Jr. would then begin to work on new material. With the 
release of Beyond  in 2007, the band continued its march towards rock greatness. 
Fourteen years on, the band is still going strong with four albums released on Jagjaguwar 
Records, most recently Sweep It Into Space, out April 23, 2021.
