10 Forgotten 90s Rock Bands Worth Rediscovering

10. Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Any group who list Joni Mitchell, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Teardrop Explodes among their influences is sure to be, at the very least, worth checking out. Step forward the wonderfully-named Ned's Atomic Dustbin (the moniker derives from The Goon Show, a ground-breaking radio comedy which paved the way for Monty Python and all which was to follow).

Formed in Stourbridge, UK, Ned's Atomic Dustbin (hereafter abbreviated to NAD) took the unusual move of featuring two bass-players in their line-up.

The band re-united for live gigs in the early 2000s, some of which is documented on record, but for a proper introduction you should check out the three studio albums which the group put out between 1991 and 1995. NAD mixed a post-punk aesthetic with an accessible pop sound, injecting some wonderful hooks into their warm, cerebral music.

NAD are one of those groups whose many loyal fans seek out anything and everything they can get, and rightly so - NAD remain one of the most singular and fascinating outfits to come out of the 90s. If you're looking for the perfect balance between post-punk and pop/rock, then you won't regret checking them out.
