The Lemonheads formed in 1986 and quickly became known for their catchy melodies and raw, emotional sound that blends punk energy with alternative and indie rock influences. Fronted by Evan Dando, the band gained mainstream attention with hits like "Mrs. Robinson" and "Into Your Arms." Their music has a distinctive blend of melodic hooks and gritty guitar riffs, appealing to fans of alternative rock rather than traditional hard rock or metal.
