When I first got into learning music production, I'd be listening to some flattened music and I'd keep hearing this distortion that I thought was from an effect.

Not him but I read about this incident in Our Band Could Be Your Life last night. I've heard good things about Trouble Boys

Yup. Got it right when it came out. Fantastic book. It also gave me other artists to check out who are mentioned in the book.

If you're not familiar with the Best Show you should check out the Replacements Steve talking to the author next time you're running or commuting or something. I was laughing in public like a crazy person.
