The Presidents Of The United States Of America - Self-Titled

The Presidents of The United States of America —The Presidents of The United States of America

Limited edition neon yellow colored vinyl

First time on vinyl for the debut album featuring the smash hits "Lump" and "Peaches"

The Presidents of The United States Of America was a post-grunge power-pop trio whose punky sound and oddball humor brought them success in the mid-'90s. Formed in 1990 by childhood friends Chris Ballew and Dave Dederer, the Seattle band became locally popular on the strength of their live shows and an early demo tape.

The band's debut album came out in 1995, first on a tiny Seattle label called Pop Llama, then some months later on Columbia Records. It featured the chart-topping modern rock single "Lump" — reaching No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and becoming a triple-platinum seller. The hit single "Peaches" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Performance By A Duo or Group With Vocal in 1996. And their cover of Ian Hunter's "Cleveland Rocks" was used as the opening song for the Drew Carey Show from 1997 to 2004. 

"1995 was a time when vinyl seemed like a format whose days were numbered. Because OMG COMPACT DISCS! We stayed very busy circling the globe and kicking out the jams and selling gajillions of these 'CDs.' Now, 25 years later, it's on vinyl for the very first time!!" — The Presidents of The United States of America
