Hi-Fi Sci-Fi by Dramarama
Hi-Fi Sci-Fi is an album by Dramarama, released in 1993. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Work for Food”, on 3 lists with a best position of #54.
Hi-Fi Sci-Fi, Dramarama's fifth album, came out on Elektra in 1993, and it turned out to be the New Jersey band's last studio record for a dozen years. Formed back in 1982 and later relocated to Los Angeles, they had always been singer-songwriter John Easdale's show, a power-pop heart beating inside an alternative rock body.
Here they cranked it. With Clem Burke behind the kit and the band mixing and matching its parts, Robert Christgau heard them hitting louder, harder and faster than ever. "Work for Food" pairs a wry, shrugging title with a hook that won't let go. The band broke up in 1994, and the next album, Everybody Dies, didn't arrive until 2005.
