Pure Juice by Summercamp
Pure Juice is an album by Summercamp, released in 1997. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Drawer”, on 3 lists with a best position of #80.
Pure Juice, Summercamp's debut, landed on Maverick on June 17, 1997, and it arrived with the hype machine already roaring: the Santa Barbara band had signed to Madonna's label late the year before, and Madonna herself told MTV they were better than Oasis. Chris Shaw produced, and the lineup was the one locked in since 1994: singer-guitarists Tim Cullen and Sean McCue, who had met in high school, with Misha Feldmann on bass and Tony Sevener on drums.
What they deliver is sunny, crunchy alt-rock with hooks to spare, and "Drawer" carried it to 21 on the Modern Rock chart and onto MTV's 120 Minutes, while "Should I Walk Away" went top ten in Japan. They spent the summer on Lollapalooza's second stage, then played Pukkelpop and the very first Fuji Rock Festival, touring on into December. A follow-up was finished but never released.
