Hailing out of Massachusetts in the mid-eighties, Dinosaur Jr (or known simply as Dinosaur back then) have been pioneers in the alternative rock genre since they first set foot on stage. Lead singer J Mascis drew heavy influence from earlier legends of the psychedelic rock movement and incorporated raw vocals and wavy tunes into their own, unique sound. Over the years, they've created over ten studio albums and traveled worldwide, creating a lasting legacy in their wake.
