The Dream Syndicate are at the foundation of alternative music because back in 1981, when most bands were experimenting with new technology, they choose to bring back the guitar. Known for their incredible live performances, they toured with everyone from R.E.M. to U2, before splitting up in 1988. Reunited in 2012 and after 22 years, went back to the studio to record How Did I Find Myself Here?. From the first day of recording it was apparent that the band was making an album that would live up to its history and take their story into the present.
