Cornerstone 2002: Fine China

Fine China's breathy, '80s-inspired pop music -- think New Order meets The Smiths -- was always a nice change of pace from the punk and hardcore sounds that usually dominated Cornerstone. And as an added bonus here, Map's Josh Dooley joined them onstage on guitar. The band had released their sophomore album, "You Make Me Hate Music," earlier in the year, so songs like "Hug Every Friend" were featured in the set. As I recall, Fine China actually played twice at Cornerstone 2002, on July 2 and July 3 on the New Band Stage (though they weren't really a new band).
