Power Pop
Los Angeles, California, USA

Mini Mendez started this band after The Holidays. The bio on the BandCamp page about the band says:

“Formed in 1994, pop/roots trio The Reckless Ways played mostly in lost hideaways and small dives; places with names like Haven, JJ’s Lounge, Boar’s Head; places that for the most part, no longer exist. With their guitar ‘n’ melody-driven sound, The Ways didn’t quite fit into the grunge-covered musical landscape of the ’90s, but that never stopped an upbeat and loud live show. After three years of gigging, the band released their debut EP, Desperate Kiss in 1997, only to pack it in by year’s end.”
