Bands you loved that faded away • Page 77

This is really good! just bought the full length on eBay.

 

This makes me very happy. I'm glad someone else can experience this obscure gem all these years later!

 

Another hidden gem. I remember hearing this buzz about this band at Warped '03. Never got a chance to catch their set and they broke up shortly after. I did pick up a copy of the cd and was hooked. I haven't listened to this in ages (it's not on Spotify). But songs like "In The Air" and especially "Inexpectation" (one of my all time favorite songs) still hold a special place.

FFO: early Jimmy Eat World

 

If you're into the whole Mainstream Alt Rock / Post Grunge on the late 90s / early 00s. This is a jam. The song "Eighteen" was such a jam of mine when this came out. The singer Aaron Bruno now fronts AWOLNATION (who I don't listen to lol).

 

Yes, I was a massive fan of this album when it was released. Saw these guys play on a side stage at a Weezer show when they were touring Maladroit.

Bruno's next band after this (Under the Influence of Giants) was also incredible. But I am not much into AWOLNATION either haha

 

AWOLNATION sucks but I love that Under The Influence of Giants album

 

Yeah don't think I ever listened to Under the Influence... I'll check then out!

Better than buttocknation.

 

Buttrock is such a dumb insult.

 

Okay Under the Influence of Giants is actually great!

How does one go from 2 great bands, to absolute hot garbage and become bigger than your previous outings...?!

 

Have you ever tried hot garbage? It's better than you think!

 

It's not my bag at all but honestly I can't fault him, he's had so much success

 

SAIL

 

True. Well all the power to him!

 

Woodale. From Lakeland, FL (same as Copeland)

Great EP. That's all they released.

FFO: (Old) Copeland, Waking Ashland, This Day and Age

Big City Dreams. From Gainesville, FL

FFO: Daphne Loves Derby, acoustic rock.

 

Haven’t heard anyone mention them since probably 2009, but every once in a while I remember The Ting Tings are a band. Been revisiting their discography today and their first few records are fun as fuck.

 

I miss The Temper Trap and Shiny Toy Guns.

 

This is an extreme shot in the dark but for months I have been trying to remember a band's name. They were definitely super tiny, think I downloaded their album on FrostWire one song at a time circa 2006-07 lol. I remember the album cover had a kind of cartoonish drawing of a highway on it going through the desert with a big cactus, lots of purple and orange. Music was kind of Limbeck-ish, pop punk with a hint of twang to it?

If that rings any bells with anyone I'd be eternally grateful and probably have to get you a gift of some sort. This band was probably just a local band whose purevolume I stumbled across or something tho, odds aren't good

 

That kinda rings a bell.....

 

Great I figure if we can get enough people agonizing over it for a few more months we might eventually figure it out lol

 

I forget and then spend 45 minutes struggling to remember this band’s name every 7-8 years.

And these two are emo/pop-punk/pop rock records that in pretty sure never blipped on anyone’s radar but I feel like are solid.

 

This the one?

or this?

 

the bull the baloon and the family is definitely what i was thinking of, wow, i hope it's the same for the other poster as well

 

Justice for Reuben’s Accomplice

 

So unfortunately no it is not. BUT I also haven’t heard this band in quite awhile (more like 5-10 years than 10-15 tho) so this is definitely still a win haha. Wild that this checks basically every box I gave but isn’t the one!

 

Well, I’m stumped but hopefully someone else can come through.
