Bands you loved that faded away • Page 89

I miss those days. Spending hours on Myspace looking for new bands too.

 

These guys were briefly THE local band around here, but they still never had the following they deserved. I got to interview them before one of their shows and they were super nice dudes.

 

you from the rockford area? and that's rad they were nice dudes!

 

My contribution to this thread today is Paper Rival:

I know that's a cover, but it's a great cover, and their EPs and only album are all wonderful.

 

paper rival!!

 

I did listen to them last month, and I do listen to them regularly, that whole EP and the following album are both amazing, instantly bringing me into a mood for As Tall As Lions, This Day and Age, The Working Title etc.

 

damn that's a throwback

 

This band was cheesy as hell but still fun. Impressive vocalist. I know their music wasn't on Spotify for the longest time, but it's all on there now.

 

That album is super fun and really unlike anything else

 

It positively breaks my heart how few listeners on Spotify TDAA have. The Bell and the Hammer is SO good.

 

who remembers Life On Repeat? my gf at the time got me into these guys a decade ago, their first album is fantastic!

never got to see them live which always bummed me out. Guitarist Andrew Baylis has been producing like crazy lately, worked with Broadside, Dead Bundy, Outline In Color, VRSTY, Sleeping With Sirens, and tons more

 

Great band, and I especially have a fondness for their second album which feels like it came out a few years too early. It sounds like most bands in that genre moved into that kind of super anthemic post-hardcore sound as the decade progressed. Highly recommended to fans of the most recent Silverstein stuff.

 

I know there are probably a lot like it, but this video is hilarious to me.

"Yeah so uh, just play the song while a hot lady walks around and looks at the camera"

 

So underrated. That breakdown in that track alone was ahead of its time because it wasn't one very simple rhythm. They should've been huge.

 

Anyone remember Keith Ledger, Nic Newsham's punk band that had a few songs on MySpace? Would love to find those songs again.

 

DM me, I got them all

 

yo anyone remember this band The Fully Down? specifically their second and last album Don't Get Lost In A Movement. It's so good, it's a mix of pop punk, punk rock, metal/post-hardcore, it's all over the place but it flows well. they broke up after this album came out but it still holds up in my opinion. but i thought recently that if came out 5 years later in the 2010s (it came out 05) and if they toured with bands like set your goals, four year strong, chunk no captain chunk i think they would've done a lot better. they might've been to early on the scene with this style? just a thought! did anyone ever see these guys live? I've only seen em though live videos and they sounded awesome with the 3 guitar players. it never seemed muddled. Also did the singer or anyone go onto bands afterwards? i only know they are From Ottawa and they were on fearless records for their second album. and a Canadian label for their first.

highly recommended if you are reading this and never listened before. for fans of shreddy fast fun anthem-y music!

 

Definitely remember them and the three guitars, good album, I'll revisit soon

 

Makes me think of Jet Lag Gemini also, who had one absolutely amazing album and I think a lot of guitars haha

 

run this city just popped into my head!

 

Love Jet Lag Gemini

 

i still listen to that album fairly regularly. really cool stuff.

 

never listened to Jet Lag Gemini but Jet Force Gemini rules

 

Go listen to the one album
