If Buttsteak wasn't the goofiest punk-pop/alternative pop-rock band of the 䀘90s, they were certainly among the goofiest. The East Coast outfit was active during the grunge era of the early to mid-䀘90s, but Buttsteak was never grunge--far from it. At a time when Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Hole and their Seattle colleagues were all about dark, ultra-serious, angst-ridden introspection, Buttsteak was an exercise in nutty, wacky, over-the-top fun. Buttsteak's highly infectious material was greatly influenced by the punk and new wave of the late 䀘70s and early 䀘80s; they rocked as aggressively as the Ramones, the Buzzcocks and the Dickies, but much of their poppiness came from the melodic new wave of the B-52s, Devo and the Talking Heads.
