Hold Me Up, the Goo Goo Dolls' third album, came out on Metal Blade on October 16, 1990, back when the Buffalo trio was still a scrappy punk band bashing it out in the college-rock trenches. John Rzeznik on guitar, Robby Takac on bass and George Tutuska on drums play it fast and loud, but something is shifting: this is where Rzeznik starts taking over the lead vocals, and his knack for a sweet, aching melody pokes through the racket.
"There You Are" was the band's first single and their first video, a glimpse of the songwriter who'd break big a few years down the road with "Name" and "Iris". It has since been ranked among the best records Metal Blade ever put out.
