Oakland's Samiam unleashed their sixth album, InchAstray,Inch in 2000, and it's a heart-wrenching masterpiece. Samiam blends punk energy with alt-rock vibes and a melancholic undertone, all wrapped in a smartly produced soundscape.

The music itself reflects the weight, rumbling bass-heavy guitars amplifying the somber mood. Amidst the intensity, gems like InchMud Hill.Inch InchSunshine.Inch & InchDullInch (arguably their crown jewel) shines through, resonating with anyone who's ever felt the weight of sadness. Marking a band turning point, this was Samiam's last album with founding guitarist James Brogan and first with bassist Sean Kennerly. In 2023, Samiam would regroup and InchStowawayInch their ninth album and remain one of the most endearing and enduring punk bands of their generation.For Fans Of Jawbreaker, Dillinger Four, Face to Face, LagwagonVinyl color yellow Album Tracks 1.
