Restraining Bolt

Restraining Bolt is the final studio album by American alternative rock band Radish, released in 1997. Ben Kweller, the group's frontman, was only 15 at the time the album was released. The album was a commercial failure, selling only 13,000 copies by March 1998.

Critical reception
The Village Voice noted that "Kweller plays the roar that was grunge's revenge for punk like a teen gymnast executes a vault: there's a correct form and you follow it."
