Love & Desperation (CD)
Of course, the band--DINOSAUR JR.'s J. MASCIS (drums/guitar/vocals); COBRA VERDE's TIM PARNIN (guitar); JOHN PETKOVIC (vocals/guitar) and WITCH's DAVE SWEETAPPLE (bass/vocals)--eschews the whole "supergroup" tag. SWEET APPLE, you see, was born by accident and friendship--out of death, after a cross-country drive. Singer-guitarist John Petkovic got in his car heading eastward days after the passing of his mother--to smoke cigarettes, listen to music and clear his head. He didn't even know where he was going or where he'd end up. He ended up in New England, the home of longtime friends Dave Sweetapple and J. Mascis, who told John to start writing some songs so they could start a band. Within weeks, and after recruiting Cobra Verde guitarist Tim Parnin they started working on an album. The result is Love And Desperation. The twelve-song disc casts a wide net, reflecting the disparate sounds of all their bands: catchy power-pop, crushing rock and wounded ballads
