No disrespect but you didn’t know Helmet ? Helmet is one of the most influential bands out there. I am shocked knowing that you are very savvy about the game.

Great info! To be fair to Helmet, they came out during grunge and the beginnings of shoe gaze. I remember when I was in high school seeing the debut of their video for Unsung and thinking they looked like college kids who picked up instruments to me. I think they’ve always been very causal with their look.
