Back in the day, I ran into David Usher at a laundromat in Kelowna, BC. There was a woman there who also recognized him, and she was absolutely starstruck. While he was folding his clothes, she approached him for an autograph. He handed her a pair of his underwear instead. legendary.

An absolute 90's Canadian classic. Canadian bands during this period were so good. And revisiting them has been a quite a pleasure, to say the very least.

[@countroshculla]

I agree. Not Canadian myself but a lot of my favourite music is from the Great White North.

[@tariendemille2364]

A proud Canadian moment is when I say " yeah of course I listen to moist!"

[@Armann_]

Correction. _The True North._ Nobody can doubt Canada has great musicians, timeless ones.

[@galodonoso4552]

[@jobananas3052]

You know, I never really knew the implications of what band was a canadian product or not at the time but when you go back and watch a lot of the canadian content from this time its pretty remarkable the quality of videos they came up with at what was probably a fraction of the budget of american bands. This was a great video and its all based on the performance given and the energy at play between the band members.

[@peppino1961]

It's a shame this band never became huge. I have liked them for the longest time.

[@evanfairlie8830]

[@RetroKingOG]

They are fairly big band buddy They're on Rock stations on the radio. And they performed with pretty big bands in the early 2000s on stage so I'm sure what you are inferring

Saw them in 1995 at the Reading Festival here in the UK. They were way down at the small typeface end of the bill, but they lit the place up when they played this. Beer went flying everywhere. The headliner was another Canadian act - Neil Young

[@TheDevilK]

Ahhh, I don't know if i knew this band before, but i must have heard them. I know I was at reading 97, maybe 96 as well, I think 95 was just before I could go...

Yup, me too. Ran into him at The Fabulous Commodore Ballroom in my hometown, Vancouver. I could not speak, star struck for sure. Gorgeous.

I saw these guys open up for Collective Soul and moist was the better band that night by far.

[@dinodefino5286]

@CanadianMusic&TV The show was at Irving Plaza, in New York on November 1st, 1994. I had no clue who moist,this was obviously before the Internet.

[@InAtlasAtLast]

[@joelcollins5586]

That's extremely hard because collective soul is extremely good. Maybe when this was knew members because its very hard to do

[@joelcollins5586]

@CanadianMusic&TV my 2 favorite bands lol ever heard of this

[@kylehegedus5498]

You’re lucky because at the time, Collective Soul had their best lead guitarist.

[@monicamason3414]

Much Music made me a fan. Have all their albums and David Usher's solo albums. Can't wait to see them in concert. Moist replaced Glass Tiger as my fave Canadian band. Came in when Glass Tiger broke up and carried me through the rest of my teen years and adulthood.

[@ellzedd4113]

Much Music and Toronto and even Hamilton were great music scenes ❤ the cesspools that they've become and music is lost on them now.

[@OntarioAtOrion]

Saw them for free at the balloon fest way back in 94 in Harris Park downtown London Ontario. People were getting squashed at the front and David Usher stopped the show and made everyone move back. They said if people don't stop that they would stop playing. Awesome show though.

[@wallonthefly]

This song and "Born to Kill" by Matthew Good are two of my favourite intense songs from Canada; Keep on rocking in the free world! :D

[@eddie528]

Saw them play live when they opened for Collective Soul in NYC in the early 90s. I won the tickets on the radio for Collective Soul. Got a promo CD from Moist. I Still play this song all the time.

[@DavidNL16]

My favourite band in my youth. What a show they put on.

[@lyoness6]

Saw them live at the Molson Amphitheatre in '94 and they were incredible. David Usher had thrown his back out the day before and the first thing he did was apologise for not being able to give the crowd the full physical energy he wanted to, but he hoped we'd enjoy the show anyway. It was amazing.

[@TheYukonguy]

Produced a concert with Moist as the headliner - David Usher was a king- the entire band were so cool…

[@travisligocki]

Back when 99.3 CFOX still played legendary rock and roll! The 90's are the pinnacle of music.

[@michaelscott1658]

Excuse me? The "90s are the pinnacle of music?" Really? That viewpoint has to have everything to do with your age cuz you're so far off base with that opinion that you're in the nosebleed section of the grandstand bleachers. The 90s were an absolutely abysmal period of time for good music - that take is downright laughable to me. Probably not just your age but also what genre of music you prefer to listen to. Lots of alternative rock bouncing around the airwaves in that decade & most of that was utter crap...of course, that's simply my opinion...doesn't make it right or wrong or any better or worse than what I or the next person likes to listen to...

[@michaelscott1658]

I DO like this particular song though - I've never heard any other songs by this band that I'm consciously aware of - I would guess it's highly unlikely they would have another track I would enjoy based on the style they appear to portray although I suppose I could be incorrect in assuming that...guess there are some other song titles mentioned amongst the comments here I could look into to find out but I'm more into a hard rocker/metalhead musical approach rather than the alternative style Moist display here. The lyrics & vocal performance are top notch in this track as well as the lead guitar work...great song!

Push / Lyrics A little bit more than I ever wanted A little bit more than you could ever say Did you really think that I'd forgotten Kicked out the windshield Water coming in Fade away fade away Push just a little too late Is this what you want What you need What you wanted me to be Always loved me strapped to you Lock it down and drive me through Tried to give more than you thought I'd take now Taking more than you could ever say Push come to shove You kicked me in the head You knock me down I ripped the handle off again I wanted more than this Wanted more than this Fade away fade away Push just a little too late Is this what you want What you need Is this what you wanted me to be Always loved me strapped to you Lock it down and drive me through Hands gripped to the wheel Held too tight to feel Face pressed to the glass Please don't ask One breath one more It's alright I could give enough Have enough Be enough You could never stand to stay there Only only only Fade away fade away Push just a little too late Is this what you want What you need Is this what you wanted me to be Always loved me strapped to you Lock it down and drive me through Push just a little too late I wanted more than this I expected more than this
