Semisonic

Ah, Semisonic. The band that brought us the ultimate earworm of the late 90s, "Closing Time". Formed in Minneapolis in 1995, this trio consisting of Dan Wilson, John Munson, and Jacob Slichter quickly rose to fame with their infectious blend of alternative rock and power pop.

Semisonic's debut album, "Great Divide", made waves in the music scene with hits like "F.N.T." and "Delicious". But it was their sophomore effort, "Feeling Strangely Fine", that solidified their place in music history. Tracks like "Secret Smile" and "Singing in My Sleep" showcased the band's knack for combining catchy melodies with introspective lyrics.

While Semisonic may have taken a hiatus in the early 2000s to pursue other projects, their music continued to resonate with fans old and new. In 2017, they made a triumphant return with the EP "You're Not Alone", proving that their songwriting prowess was as potent as ever.

With their signature blend of heartfelt ballads and upbeat anthems, Semisonic has secured their status as one of the most beloved bands of the 90s. So next time you find yourself belting out "Closing Time" at the top of your lungs, remember that Semisonic is more than just a one-hit wonder – they're a musical force to be reckoned with.
