About Dinosaur Jr.

Dinosaur Jr. is an indie rock band from Amherst, MA, formed in 1984.

Dinosaur Jr. formed in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1984, first billed simply as Dinosaur before a legal dispute forced the change. Their SST records You're Living All Over Me and Bug paired hardcore speed and volume with J Mascis's melodic, Neil Young-inflected songwriting and long, wailing guitar leads played through towering amp stacks.

Lou Barlow was pushed out in 1989 and went on to Sebadoh, while Mascis led the band through a major-label run that produced 'Start Choppin'' and 'Feel the Pain'. The original trio reunited in 2005 and have since made several new studio albums together, starting with Beyond in 2007, with the live volume as punishing as it ever was.
