Destination Universe by Material Issue
Destination Universe is an album by Material Issue, released in 1992. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 12 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Next Big Thing”, on 7 lists with a best position of #1296.
Destination Universe, Material Issue's second album, came out on Mercury in 1992 as the follow-up to International Pop Overthrow, and it's power pop straight down the line: bright guitars, sugar-rush choruses and not a wasted second. "What Girls Want" cracked the top ten of Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, and "Next Big Thing" carries a title that doubles as a mission statement. The band took the record on the road under a banner that summed up their whole attitude, the Pop Against Recession Tour. Freak City Soundtrack came next.
