Our featured album this week was Superdrag’s Regretfully Yours. Based out of, Tennessee, Superdrag had a brief flirt with fame in 1996 when this album came out. In 96, alt rock was flourishing, and Regretful‘s lead single, “Sucked Out”, took MTV by storm. Superdrag went on to release the delightful Head Trip In Every Key in 1998, and later Stereo 360 Sound, but never found the same support from radio or mainstream labels. In the Valley of Dying Stars was their final release before disbanding in 2003. But that wasn’t the end for Superdrag, despite appearances. Superdrag reassembled in 2007 and released Industry Giants in 2009 before fading back into the ether. Here’s a video of “Sucked Out” from Superdrag’s 2007 tour, in their hometown of Knoxville:
