The Piersons - Appleberry Wine (1997, ¡Epiphany!)

Here’s another pleasant surprise from the FYE 25 cent bin (r.i.p.). The Piersons were a highly competent three-piece rock and roll set from Arizona. Keep in mind I’m basing my opinion on them strictly on this disk, but would love to know if there's anything else out there. Given it's year of issue, there's nary any info to be found online pertaining to Appleberry Wine, but as for what you'll have in store think Titanic Love Affair, The Figgs, Grand Champeen, and even circa 1989 Replacements. Some truly inspired moments here, including but not limited to "Waitress?" and "Just Like Now."
