Dinosaur Jr. :

Dinosaur Jr. is an American alternative rock band formed in Amherst,
Massachusetts in 1984. Originally called Dinosaur prior to legal issues
that forced the group to change their name, the band disbanded in 1997
until reuniting in 2005. Guitarist J Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow and drummer
Murph were the band's founding members; however, Mascis has been the
group's sole continual member.
Their distinct sound, characterized by high gain, extensive use of
feedback and distortion, and frontman J Mascis's melodic guitar solos, were
highly influential in the alternative rock movement of the 1990s, which is
exemplified by the success of acknowledged fans Kurt Cobain of Nirvana
among others.
