'90s Rock Legends Plays Fan-Favorite Song for the First Time in 26 Years
Knoxville, Tennessee's Superdrag made a splash in the mid-1990s during alternative rock's peak. While many fans might remember hearing 'Sucked Out' on the radio or seeing the video on MTV, those that dug deeper discovered a alt-rock/power pop group that The Hard Timescalled 'the most underrated band of the '90s (and possibly of all time).'
Superdrag initially broke up in 2003; they reformed now and again, but they haven't ventured beyond their hometown. So, it's no surprise that fans packed Los Angeles' Troubadour this past weekend for Superdrag's first West Coast shows since 2009.
To make the night memorable, Superdrag—frontman John Davis, drummer Don Coffey Jr., guitarist Brandon Fisher, and bassist Tom Pappas—decided to treat their loyal fans.
The two-night event, dubbed a Destination Superdrag Weekend, kicked off on June 20, a night where the band played 'Comfortably Bummed' for the first time since 1999(!), according to Setlist FM.
Superdrag played 'I Guess It's American,' introduced as 'I Am Incinerator,' for the first time ever. The second night (June 21) was full of familiar songs, including 'True Believer,' 'Feeling Like I Do,' and, of course, 'Sucked Out.'
Superdrag first went on hiatus in 2003. John Davis had gotten sober and embraced his religion. He felt disconnected from the rowdy and drunken audiences of the day.
Davis remained prolific, performing in a variety of music styles in a bevy of different bands. Superdrag reunited in the late 2000s, went on break again, and subsequently reunited in the early 2020s. Coffey Jr., Fisher and Pappas even worked on Davis's 2024 solo album, JINX.
Davis told Stereogum in 2024 that he has reconciled with Regretfully Yours (the album that spawned 'Sucked Out'). Davis said he wasn't happy with his vocals on the album, but noted that 'the last time I listened to it, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. There are lots of things about it that I really like. I love the drum sounds, I love the guitar sounds, I like the songs.'
The band will bring the 'Destination Superdrag Weekend' to the East Coast in the fall. The band will play New York City's Bowery Ballroom on October 3-4.'90s Rock Legends Plays Fan-Favorite Song for the First Time in 26 Years first appeared on Parade on Jun 23, 2025

Bride Faces Dilemma as Groom's Mom's Handmade Soaps for Wedding Smell Like 'Absolute Trash'
"[It] was the kindest gesture… except they smell like 'plastic turd,' " the bride-to-be wrote on Reddit NEED TO KNOW A bride shared on Reddit that her soon-to-be mother-in-law made soaps for her wedding favors, but they smell like "absolute trash" Now, the bride is unsure if she should "power through," hide the soaps so guests can't take them home or tell the groom's mother the truth about the stinky scent Most Redditors advised the bride to not risk hurting the groom's mother's feelings, and instead label the soaps as being made by her future in-law and hope that guests will forget to take them home A bride-to-be is in a stinky situation. In a post shared to Reddit's "Advice," "Wedding," and "Wedding Drama" forums, a bride pleaded to users on the platform to give their opinion on how to handle a sensitive — and smelly — scenario with her soon-to-be mother-in-law. The groom's mother created wedding favors with good intentions, but the results were less than desirable. "My MIL (mother-in-law) sweetly handmade soaps as wedding favors for our wedding — which was the kindest gesture… except they smell like 'plastic turd,' " the bride wrote. Because the groom's mother lives in a different state than the couple, neither of them were actually able to see or smell the soaps "until it was way too late to pivot." Now, the bride feels "stuck" between hurting her future mother-in-law's feelings by telling her the truth about the soaps smelling like "absolute trash," or letting her be happy at the expense of wedding guests' nostrils. "On one hand, I don't want to hurt her feelings because she put in so much time and love," she said. "On the other hand, they smell so bad I'm genuinely embarrassed to give them to guests." She gave Reddit users three options to choose from: "Do I: A) Power through B) Hide them after some point so that people don't/can't actually take them home C) Tell her gently and risk hurt feelings." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In the comments sections across the three subreddits, the majority of Redditors voted on option A with a few adjustments. "You could attach a little tag to the soaps or a little sign 'lovingly hand made by MIL (mother-in-law)' and so when people take them and they're stinky, they know it's not you," the top comment on the "Advice" forum reads. Many individuals said that wedding guests often forget to take home wedding favors anyway, so if the soaps are placed in a basket or on tables then they may be naturally left at the celebration. A few people argued that this should be the groom's problem to handle because it's his mother. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham's 1973 album confirmed for re-release
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are going back again — to their pre-Fleetwood Mac days — as the exes confirm the remastered re-release of their 'elusive' 1973 debut album. 'Buckingham Nicks' will finally be available to the masses on Sept. 19, 'with newly remastered sound for CD and digital debut,' according to the description of the YouTube video for 'Don't Let Me Down Again.' The instrumentals of the track, which dropped Wednesday morning, bears a familiarity to the hits they'd eventually make with Fleetwood Mac, as well as contemporaries like The Allman Brothers Band. The announcement comes following cryptic social media posts that led fans to speculate the two were working together on a project. In late July, two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Nicks, 77, and the 75-year-old guitarist shared apparent call-and-response posts on Instagram, each offering a portion of a lyric from the album track 'Frozen Love.' 'And if you go forward…' read Nicks' posts. 'I'll meet you there,' completed Buckingham's. The posts corresponded with a billboard of the album cover that went up on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles — near the Sound City Studios where the album was recorded. The billboard didn't say much but it did tease the date of Sept. 19. Though Fleetwood Mac fans were hopeful the re-release might signify a reunion for the surviving members of the band, following Christine McVie's death in 2022, Nicks ruled that out last summer. She also told Rolling Stone in an interview last October that she last spoke to Buckingham at McVie's celebration of life, having 'dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could.' 'You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances,' Nicks said of her former bandmate and ex-boyfriend.
