River Fenix by Fenix TX
River Fenix is an album by Fenix TX, released in 1997. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 11 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “All My Fault”, on 10 lists with a best position of #46.
River Fenix, the first full-length from the Houston pop-punk band then called Riverfenix, came out on Drive-Thru Records on December 16, 1997, following their G.B.O.H. EP. Will Salazar sings and plays guitar, with Donnie Reyes, bassist Adam Lewis and drummer Damon DeLaPaz rounding out the band, and the songs are pure sugar and snot: fast, goofy and catchy.
It's long out of print. When the estate of actor River Phoenix sent a cease and desist, the band became Fenix TX and re-recorded most of these songs for the self-titled Fenix TX album, which makes this original a prized collector's item. It holds things the remake doesn't: "Skinhead Jessie", "Jaw", untitled tracks, short intros on "Apple Pie Cowboy Toothpaste" and "Jolly Green Dumbass", and a different-sounding "Rooster Song". "All My Fault" and "Minimum Wage" are the ones that reached the countdowns.
