Sugar Ray: ”Lemonade & Brownies” (The Raw Debut That Should’ve Ruled the ’90s)

Join host Jesse Blaze Snider on Coolest Alive as he recommends the unfiltered 1995 funk-metal riot Lemonade & Brownies, the Sugar Ray album that slams Red Hot Chili Peppers riffs into Beastie Boys scratches and pure SoCal skate-punk chaos; forget the pop hits, this is the fearless, weird debut that demands you crank “Mean Machine” and live in the alternate timeline where they never sold out.
