can we define pressure? the first post implied that pressure was when an artist/band wanted to make the leap from cult-like or underground to a bit more massive. i was also thinking about expectations from the audience/critics which have cracked many a band/artist.
ok let's see:
sy: exception to the rule, they powered through it.
lpd: what pressure? it's not like they had a chance to break big or had amazingly great expectations around them (besides doing the best albums they can).
girl trouble: don't know them.
melvins: remember the mid to late 90's? controversial at best, utter crap at worst; they sabotaged themselves over any attempt to really be a big band.
suicide: i think they are kinda like a nostalgia act, and yeah, i'm not really into their later albums.
