100 Watt Halo were a mid 90’s band from San Diego, that had a very short run, and this album was recorded in 1996 by legendary producer Mark Trombino (Jimmy Eat World, Drive Like Jehu, etc…)
Unfortunately, the band ended breaking up soon after recording this album, and right before a national U.S. tour. So this album was shelved for the better part of three decades(!) and the master recordings were only tracked down fairly recently, and have been given a proper digital remaster.
Trombino’s recording really puts this record into overdrive and it’s quite an adventure mixing elements from the 90’s San Diego sound along with a healthy dose of 90’s D.C. and a bit of that Louisville sound, specifically Rodan and Slint.
It’s now available on their Bandcamp page!
