I heard of these guys back in '95. I still can't believe half of their songs never topped the charts. I love listening to them. Such talent, and catchy tunes and lyrics.
Well constructed sugary pop antics disguising brutal sad lyrics of verisimilitude. Gets me every time. (Like Beautiful South, The Smiths, and Frank Zappa.) I expect this song is drawn from real life; I would be flabergasted if it was spun out of whole cloth. But whatta I know? Cheers Judybats!
WOW! Damn, I forgot about this gem of a song “Daylight” by The Judybats 🦇! SO GREAT! 🥰 Loved hearing this WMRY (Belleville IL-St. Louis MO) radio station. At least, that was my own recollection. THANK YOU for uploading this great song!
I miss: Mark (I know where you are!), Wesley, Ben (jamin), Tim and ? (Geez, I think it’s also Ben), Angela (before you betrayed me!), Neal (sp? Neil), The Hippy Dude (?), Cool World (Soundtrack!), being young, slim, and fit! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS?! Good Times! GREAT music!, Cool Clothes!, Hell Yeah! The Underground (before Hip Hop ruined it! And made it Egypt….Alternative all the way, Baby!) then afterwards: The Boiler Room (and 💨 and Alternative🎶), Flamingos, Immortal Chorus, The Library THE WHOLE F*CKING 90’s….why did I check out? 😫 BTW: you should’ve MADE me quit smoking. Hindsight. Mark shouda stopped with acid, 🍄, 🪴 and healthy paranoia. Damn dude! I hate that for ya.

30 years later and this song still works for me.
Wish we could see a reunion tour after the pandemic!
This was a very good album from a very underestimated band.

I consider The Judybats something like The American Smiths.
Thanks for posting this!
I was lucky enough to live close to WOXY back in the 90's that new alternative artist got airplay and Judybats just spoke to me.
Oxford Ohio - that station was everything! ♥️
How nice to see this pop up on my timeline on FB. I loved this band apart from the cool name

Shellee G. At the Judybats height, did you ever meet Tim and Ben (had to be Judybats’s bestest fans!)? I wonder what happened to the old gang….
Good album. Wished these guys recieved more support. Woman in the garden one of my fav songs of all time...juss sayin'
Best band ever!
❤️🙂❤️
Do have the video of "She lives in a time of her own" ?
