Bands you loved that faded away • Page 33

Wow I never heard of Mystery Skulls, but I looked them up and they don't mention TSH at all in the bio. I wondered what happened to him.

 

Still think Crime In Stereo belongs in this.

 

Like literally every NI band ever, Axis Of are gone but not forgotten. It really seems like nothing can make it out of Belfast. Cursed place. They had those huge melodies with huge guitars.

 

Ahem....

S/O to Mystery Skulls

 

got in my feelings yesterday about so many of my favorite bands from my "youth" (i'm still technically in my youth whatever) that have since broken up/gone inactive
mostly the golden era FBR line-up from the mid-aughts.
As Cruel As School Children from GCH is still my shit; really fucking hope they're gonna drop some new shit for that tour with FOB coming soon! i wasn't the biggest fan of Papercut Chronicles II, i don't want them to leave on that note

 

I actually googled the whereabouts of Action Item. I already knew Mark did jewelry, but I didn't know Anthony quit the band to manage Halsey full time.

 

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza

I want Joshua Travis to quit fucking around with Emmure and get back to this stuff.

 

Pretty sure I'm not repeating here. I caught their last song when they opened up for Foxing a couple years back, and I fell in love. Haven't heard anything from them since their last tour in Fall 2017.

 

I discovered this band back on the old ap.net, but they never seemed to get a lot of attention. These songs are fantastic

 

Aaah yes I love this band. Armed to the Teeth is such a killer album.

Tommy does mostly production and film/TV scores now, but I don't think he's retired AP. There will probably be new music at some point.

 

I always wonder how semi-successful musicians fill their days, and what other work of theirs we've heard without even knowing it

Reminds me of Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall

"C'mon, I got Allman Brothers tickets, I gotta get outta here"

 

Haha yeah, apparently he's scored Game of Thrones trailers, Target commercials, etc

This has probably been said but Just Surrender definitely.

Emanuel had so much potential but made too much of a leap on their second record .

Small Towns Burn a little slower is another one. Their first album was cool

 

Emanuel was so good. Agreed on their second album leap, but it was such a dark and great leap. I just listened to that album this past weekend for the first time in a year or so. Such a dark fantastic album. Especially to go from it with such a emo-ish first album.
I remember going to see them do a headline club show with Aiden back in like 2004 and there was literally 8 people there. Felt so bad.

 

The Sleeping
The Killing Moon
Brandtson
Downtown Singapore
The North Atlantic

 

I enjoyed the second record but it wasn't what I was looking for at that time. It reminded me of Smashing Pumpkins.

One of my complaints with Emanuel was that live, they always played the same setlist (pre black earth tiger) and they always had some sort of issue. I saw them open for FFTL, at bamboozle, open for Senses Fail instead of SA because Max went crazy, and the singer was sick every single time. I Saw them on their first headliner and I think the drummer was sick so they had someone fill in and they only played like 6 songs on a HEADLINER. Not only that, it was the same songs they always played when they opened. I was pretty much done with them after that.

 

I always liked these two

 

Wow, I never thought I'd see a The Killing Moon reference again in my life. I grew up watching those guys play local shows. Shame they never got any traction. They shredded the "rock with horns" thing.

 

OMG their EP is still such a fun album. Never got to see them live.

 

That EP is unreal. I have seen them live more times than I could count. Them and Sparks the Rescue seemed to play a local/grange show every other weekend. I miss those days. TKM just never seemed to get it going which is a shame, that EP really does smash

 

Brandtson was the first band that came to mind
