Scaring the country folks of Memphis with their brand of sleazy raunch and roll since their 1995 debut album Soul Food, the Oblivians refuse to mold into stereotype of three piece ensembles sounding "wimpy" or "watered down." Instead, the Oblivians pay tribute to the Ramones, the Sonics and the Stooges by creating their own sound of nostalgic '60s garage punk with their use of lo-fi equipment. Following Soul Food the next year was a live studio collection entitled Sympathy Sessions and their second album Popular Favorites. Continuing on with their unorthodox method of two guitars, drums and a bass-less line-up was their collaboration with keyboardist Mr. Quintron appropriately titled Play Nine Songs with Mr. Quintron in 1997.
