The Breeders

At the time of their live performance at Riot Fest on September 15, 2023, The Breeders were riding a wave of nostalgia and revitalization sparked by their latest album, "All Nerve," released in 2018. This album marked a significant moment as it brought back the original lineup, including the iconic Kim and Kelley Deal, which fans had longed for. The energy at Douglass Park that day was palpable, as they ripped through classics like "Cannonball," reviving not only the song’s infectious hooks but also the spirit of '90s alternative rock. An interesting tidbit is that "All Nerve" was both a comeback and a celebration of their legacy, showcasing their evolution while respecting their roots. It’s a reminder of how their sound—quirky yet hard-hitting—changed the music landscape and continues to do so, even in today's diverse scene.
