Ceremony - Demo '05



This is the little known first demo created by the infamous Ceremony. I won't go into a bio on them, it shouldn't be necessary.
But for those of you who think Ruined is their first album or even more so for those who think Rohnert Park is their first, this is a must hear.

I Have Dreams




I Have Dreams was a screamo/emo band born from the ashes of a band called New Ethic, when their guitar player Daniel died in a car accident.
New Ethic played their last show in August, 1998 with Daniel’s best friend Mike Hanson in his place, and it was about a month or two later that I Have Dreams started playing.
The band consisted of Allen Compton and Mike Peters on vocals, Mike Hanson on guitar, Ben Seals on bass and Clayton Rychlick on drums. I Have Dreams were more than a band - in the words of Mike Peters: “It was an attempt to cope with the pain everyone was feeling after Daniel’s death.” I Have Dreams were together for roughly six months, and they broke up in the Spring of 1999.

Alkaline Trio - Goddamnit




This is one of my favorite albums from one of my favorite bands Alkaline Trio, While they were still in their prime. It has some of the best lyrical content I've ever read (tongue-tied, bleeding from your eyes. even Christ himself would cringe at the sight of your scars. )
Goddamnit was realeased in october of 1998 on Asian Man Records, Mike DaRonco of Allmusic called Goddamnit "hands down the perfect listening in the wake of a broken heart" and remarked that "It's rare that a band such as Alkaline Trio can make love songs appealing without being labeled as 'wimpy' or 'generic', and Goddamnit is the record to erase those labels."





Wesley Eisold - Death Beds


This post is a little different from what I usually post, This is the book Cold Cave/Some Girls/ AN/ ETC. Front man Wes Eisold published back in _ on his independant publishing label Heartworm Press.
The book itself is very rare as it was limited to 1,000 copies, never to be repressed.

"Deathbeds is a 176 page perfect-bound paper back collection of Eisold's work from 1999-2007. Included within is all of the lyrical content of past and present musical endeavors, the contents of every zine, unreleased works and new poems."
