Not knowing Gomez, I was looking them up on YouTube & Wikipedia. I followed a link to a review of their 2nd album on allmusic.com and I found this coincidental reference:
"...Liquid Skin is a cleaner, more streamlined version of the debut; it's clear that the band made the move from the garage into a professional studio. In doing so, they wound up with a dead ringer for Pearl Jam's No Code, in which America's best traditionalist band of the '90s strove for a glorious, pan-ethnic mess and pretty much succeeded. Liquid Skin doesn't rival No Code, not just because Gomez isn't as passionate, but also because Pearl Jam didn't sound as self-conscious or predictable when they decided to stretch out."
Not a great review for Gomez, but gives our boys a nice little nod, don't you think?
