I mean, 'Writer's Block,' 'Object of My Affection,' and 'Young Folks.' 'Take me down to...' And then 'Up Against the Wall' is like a sleeper jam. That record sounds amazing."Watch this moment

Guster is an American alternative rock band formed in Somerville, Massachusetts. Founding members Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, and Brian Rosenworcel began practice sessions while attending Tufts University and formed the band in 1991. The members met during the freshman Wilderness Orientation program in August of that year, playing publicly together as a trio two months later at the Midnight Cafe coffee house in the common area of the Lewis Hall dormitory.
