Car Chase / Shave is a single by The Buck Pets, an American alternative rock band. The single features two tracks, ‘Car Chase’ and ‘Shave,’ and is a notable release in the alternative rock and indie rock genres.

The Buck Pets were known for their energetic and guitar-driven sound, and their music often combined elements of alternative rock and punk. Singles like ‘Car Chase / Shave’ typically showcase the band’s signature style and their ability to create catchy and spirited rock music.

This type of release is appreciated by fans of alternative and indie rock for its representation of the band’s sound and their contribution to the alternative music scene during their active years. Singles like this one often serve as a sample of the band’s work and are cherished by enthusiasts of the genre.

Formed in the late 1980s in Texas, The Buck Pets were clearly influenced by earlier bands such as Hüsker Dü, and The Replacements, but incorporated better production values and more overt nods to classic rock than their college rock/punk predecessors.

The band seemed to get a degree of supprt from their record label, Island, for their first two LPs, the hard edged ‘The Buck Pets,’ and the more melodic follow up ‘Mercurotones.’ The band also had opening spots on tour with larger acts such as Jane’s Addiction, but in the end The Buck Pets brand of intelligent, crafted, alternative hard rock was probably a few a years too early to see commercial success.

As a coda, the The Buck Pets released the more restrained, melancholy ‘To The Quick’, a fine almost totally ignored LP, in 1993 on the independent label Restless
