Dishwalla

Dishwalla is an American alternative rock band that emerged from Santa Barbara, California in 1994. The band initially gained fame with their hit single "Counting Blue Cars," from their debut album, "Pet Your Friends," which was released in 1995. The song's distinctively philosophical questioning—"Tell me all your thoughts on God"—helped it stand out on the airwaves, propelling it to the top of the charts and earning Dishwalla a Billboard award for "Best Rock Song" in 1996. Anchored by lead vocalist J.R. Richards' recognizable voice, the band's sound was a blend of grunge-inspired guitars and melodic songwriting that resonated with fans of post-grunge and alternative rock.

Over the years, Dishwalla has maintained a consistent presence in the rock music scene, navigating the changing musical landscape with a series of albums that showcase their evolving style. Some of their notable releases include "And You Think You Know What Life's About" (1998), "Opaline" (2002), and "Live…Greetings From the Flow State" (2003), a live album that captured the band's dynamic performance abilities. In 2017, Dishwalla returned to form with their fifth studio album, "Juniper Road," their first release in over a decade. The album, which features the single "Alive," harks back to the band's earlier success while integrating modern elements into their sound. While the band has seen some line-up changes over the years, the spirit of their '90s breakthrough continues to resonate with a loyal fanbase and a new generation of listeners.
