I guess when you are a small town band from Colorado it never works that way.īut they have been pretty successful and have a cult following. I thought this album would go gold and be the popular music of that summer but it just never got mainstream. Now I wish I had bought the cd, which is impossible to track down. I listen to it once in awhile now but back then every song sounded like perfection. He laughed and said 'No, the band is called The Samples'.Īfter feeling a bit stupid I went over to where the tape section was and picked up the album The Last Drag.Īs soon as I left the store it was already playing in my car. I asked the clerk who was playing and he said 'It's The Samples'. I first heard the song Everytime at a Coop records in Peoria in 1993. The Samples are in my opinion one of the most obscure, underrated bands from the last 25 years.
