Kerplunk - Albums

Early 90's were stressed for the band due to its beginning and getting to know the punk scene. Plus, right after 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours was released, Green Day's first drummer, John Kiffmeyer aka. Al Sobrante, whose longing for a knowledge prevailed and he had chosen a college, quit the band leaving his place to Tre Cool. His knacks for playing drums and also setting them on fire amazed Billie Joe and Mike and a simple guy from The Lookouts teamed up with them. Together they created Kerplunk. Eventhough they were only in their early 20's, they knew excatly what they were doing. Like they were sending the message to the world: 'Maybe we're still kids but we're gonna get you sometime soon!' So be it. And it was. Since they weren't on a major record label, they didn't release any singles, but 2,000 Light Years Away, a beautiful I-miss-you-and-I-want-you-here song, with a punk energy and a pop melody at the same time was a pretty big hit from this album.
