25 years ago today (8/4), Gin Blossoms released their breakthrough LP New Miserable Experience. The Tempe, AZ band released the LP to little acclaim but nearly a year after its release it gained loads of radio play as the lead single, “Hey Jealousy”, entered the top 40, with “Found Out About You” following a few months later. Guitarist/songwriter Doug Hopkins left the band during the recording of the album and passed away in December ’93. Listen to the underrated Hopkins penned track off the LP ‘Pieces of the Night.”
