Bands you loved that faded away • Page 106

that's what's up! i tracked down a sealed copy recently because i never had a physical copy and peep that hype sticker, i miss when labels used to do that!

 

This is a pretty deep dive, but if anyone remembers Grand Theft Audio, their only album "Blame Everyone" was high octane rock and I just learned they released a new album two years ago after a 22 year break haha. I haven't listened yet, but I will soon

 

The blast from the past effect of the last post happened to me when I learned Showoff from Chicago have a new EP, 7 years after their already blast form the past revival album in 2017 (their sole officially released album was in 1999). It’s not especially great or unique but I will always have a soft spot for the singer’s voice and this genre of music.

 

hahaha legendary music video them just being absolute menaces around celebrities

 

they’re soooo fucking good

 

Dr Manhattan might be coming back, they updated their Facebook and made an Instagram account

Love them, actually just did a discography run

 

That's awesome. So excited.

 

What's your favorite?

 

Still self titled but I jam hard to jam dreams, the last EP ehhh not so much

 

Thats mine as well! I think Jam Dreams is so fucking good with songs like Mailman and Biscuits and Groovy

 

does anyone think they'll come back in the next 5-10 years? i think they're literally the last band left since everyone else in the scene has done a show at the very least.

 

I literally just listened to part of this today haha

 

Hell yeah

 

I don’t think so, but it’s always possible. Both Adam and David are in different bands now (All Human and memorydrip) but neither of them have had the same success as Fear Before

 

This album still sounds dope after all these years. For a 00s band, the production / mix still feels relatively fresh.

 

been discog running these guys this week.

 

here are a few more:

I never loved that first Sky Eats Airplane release, but it was very unique for the scene they were in, and then they just devolved into generic Risecore from there.

Sad.

 

i like the first record and the idea of two dudes and a laptop just making whatever they wanted but that band single-handedly made me only want to do two piece / internet projects just sending files back and forth so i'll always be curious what they'd sound like if they came back.

 

The Hey Man and their cover of Search and Destroy are regular tunes in my playlists!

 

Even though it'll probably never happen at this point, Emanuel is probably the last remaining band from the mid 00s scene I'm craving a reunion.

 

The singer Matt did go on a podcast a few years back and said he'd be up for it. Stranger things have happened!

 

a band/jam i forgot about

 

I’d love to see Fear Before return but I think the amount of people that would show up at their shows would be LOW.
