Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is the 1992 debut solo album by Chris Mars.
Contents
The album contains the hit song "Popular Creeps," which denounces snooty high school cliques. Most songs seem to cover break-ups, mental illness, homelessness as a trend, alienation, and apparently the rest of his former band, The Replacements.
The track, "Better Days", is about being sick at home from school and experiencing hallucinations from tainted cold medicine.
Though Mars performs primarily as a one-man band, J.D. Foster plays the bass guitar. Songs such as "Monkey Sees", "Before It Began" and "City Lights on Mars" are backed by Dan Murphy and David Pirner from Soul Asylum.
