Pavement are an Indie Rock band known for using shitty equipment and being on the the influential lo-fi bands of the 90's. They're often referred to a slacker band and their early stuff really sounds like it. The singer doesn't even try to hit the right notes, and the guitars and drumming are very sloppy, yet it doesn't fall apart completely, and the song is still great. As time went on the did get more focused with their playing. They also are famous for pissing off Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins because they made fun of them in one of their songs ("I don't understand what they mean/And I could really give a fuck"). Corgan threatened to quit the 1994 Lallapalabluhbluh festival if they were going to play, even though Stephen Malkmus said they wrote some good songs. If you like alt/indie rock, I suggest you check them out.
