Eggs was an American indie rock band based in Washington, D.C., centered on Andrew Beaujon.[5] The band was formed in 1990 in Richmond, Virginia, United States. They were active in the early to mid 1990s and was signed to prominent indie pop record label TeenBeat Records.[6]
Beaujon had previously appeared with Mark Nelson in the Virginia Teenbeat rock band Scaley Andrew and the Lizards from Hell.[7][8]
The band's 1992 debut album Bruiser "explored the more easy-listening cocktail-lounge side of guitar-pop," according to Kembrew McLeod of AllMusic. The group's second album Teenbeat 96 has been described as more experimental, and leaning towards a lounge pop sound.[9]
Legacy
According to Kembrew McLeod of AllMusic, "Eggs was one of Washington, D.C.'s best indie-pop bands of the early 1990s, but were often lost in the shadows of their labelmates Unrest."[10]
