World of Noise by Everclear
World of Noise is an album by Everclear, released in 1993. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Fire Maple Song”, on 4 lists with a best position of #1706.
World of Noise is where Everclear began: the Portland, Oregon band's 1993 debut, cut for $400 in a friend's basement and put out by the indie Tim/Kerr before Capitol came calling. Art Alexakis sang, played lead guitar and produced, Craig Montoya played bass and Scott Cuthbert drummed.
It sounds like that basement: raw, scrappy punk rock with a cowpunk twang, the guitars ragged and Alexakis's voice already carrying the bruised, tell-it-straight edge that would take him to the big leagues. "Fire Maple Song" is the keeper, a hint of the hooks to come. The limited release didn't make them stars, but it paved the way for Sparkle and Fade and the platinum run that followed.
