New Miserable Experience by Gin Blossoms

This week, Lena and Avery rewind to 1992 and dive into New
Miserable Experience by the Gin Blossoms—an
album full of jangly guitars, bittersweet lyrics, and ‘90s
heartbreak.


They explore how songs like “Hey Jealousy” and “Found Out About
You” became alt-radio staples, and reflect on the tragic impact
of guitarist Doug Hopkins, whose songwriting gave the album its
emotional weight.


Was it grunge-adjacent power pop or just the perfect soundtrack
for post-breakup drives? Either way, Lena and Avery agree—it
still holds up.


Tune in for nostalgia, deep cuts, and just a touch of Arizona
sunshine
