Fragile by Seether

Fragile is a 2001 EP from Seether's prehistory, back when Shaun Morgan's Pretoria band still called itself Saron Gas, a name they dropped in 2002 so nobody would mix them up with sarin, the deadly chemical. Morgan, the singer and guitarist and the only original member still standing, was already working the seam that would make the band's name on American rock radio: heavy, brooding post-grunge with a hard rock swagger and an alternative metal bite, verses that sulk and choruses that lunge.

"Gasoline" is the track from it that radio held on to. It's a rough sketch next to what came later, but the blueprint is all there.
