The Profile

American three-piece formed in Seattle (1993), known for upbeat, humorous alternative rock and hits like "Lump" and "Peaches"; debut album released in 1995.

Formed in Seattle in 1993. Core members include Chris Ballew, Dave Dederer and Jason Finn. Breakthrough came with the 1995 self-titled album featuring the singles "Lump" and "Peaches". Noted for unusual instrument tunings and a playful, melodic take on punk/alternative.

A fond, ironic take on the band's 1995 debut: upbeat, melodic party-punk contrasting with Seattle grunge. Praised for tight three-part playing, catchy choruses and playful tone. Highlights songs like 'Lump' and 'Peaches' and mentions the follow-up II.

Notable Quotes

❝ Something went wrong. Otherwise, there is no explanation for the oblivion to which the POTUSA have been consigned, the only band that colored my gray playlist of my gray '90s afternoons with energy, a playlist stuffed with grunge despair or hardcore fury.
