Gin Blossoms came out of Tempe, Arizona, in 1987, and from the first they sounded like a hot afternoon going slowly wrong: jangling, chiming guitars, big, easy melodies and lyrics with a hangover behind every hook. Jesse Valenzuela and Doug Hopkins were there from the start on guitars, with Robin Wilson singing and playing guitar, Bill Leen on bass and Phillip Rhodes on drums soon settling in beside them. Dusted, in 1989, and the Up and Crumbling EP in 1991, with "Mrs. Rita", came first.

New Miserable Experience, their first major-label album, arrived on A&M in 1992, and the title said everything about the mood and nothing about the sales: it went 4 times platinum. "Hey Jealousy" became a top 25 hit and went gold, and 4 more charting singles followed, "Until I Fall Away" and "Found Out About You" among them. Hopkins was gone by 1992, and Scott Johnson came in that year.

"Til I Hear It from You" kept the run going, and Congratulations I'm Sorry, in 1996, went platinum with "Follow You Down", while "As Long as It Matters" earned a Grammy nomination. The band broke up in 1997, came back together in 2001, and has since put out Major Lodge Victory in 2006, No Chocolate Cake in 2010 and Mixed Reality in 2018. On the countdowns, "Hey Jealousy" and "Found Out About You" still sound like the last good summer.
