Mario (Big Sad - bass)
SPB: Who is the most underrated Florida band (current or all-time, your choice)?
Mario: Grabass Charlestons/Careeners
Not only is their entire catalog solid, but their last LP, Dale & The Careeners is the best album No Idea Records ever put out. Whenever I find a copy I buy it to give to a friend as a gift. I got my copy the last time they played The Fest (Gainesville, FL) and haven’t stopped listening to it since. It was in the liner notes that they changed their name from Grabass Charlestons to Careeners. It’s the type of record that a movie should be based off of. Maybe one day they’ll play another show, until then I’ll keep watching old ones online…and waiting for a film version.
