Wake Up Swimming

Sprung from the fertile musical ground of the early '90s San Diego scene, Heavy Vegetables stood out and apart from their contemporaries with hyperspastic mood-swings mixed with complex melodies and baffling dynamics that made their performances the stuff of legend. After yielding two groundbreaking records and while at the top of their game, they called it quits. Now, 11 years after their last studio album, the band have reformed as Other Men and seem to have picked up directly from where they left off. Instead of treading the sounds of the past, Other Men seem intent on creating new sounds from the depths of a played-out genre.
