History

The emo band founded in 1996 by two brothers, Jim and Jon Marburger and Steve Jin was one of the - especially lyrically - influential groups of the genre.

In 1997, the band released with the label No Idea Records its first half-sided LP with 4 songs. In addition to the 10 - song LP in the same year, the band released 1998, two splits. Later followed in addition to a 7 " EP- plate CDs of the band, especially summaries with songs of earlier years.

In interviews, the band further shows extremely critical of the youth fashion scene Emo and associated - erroneously referred to as Emo - post-hardcore and alternative rock bands.

So Jon said in an interview:

" [ ... ] Now the word [ Emo, CoR ] bothers the hell out of me. It has come to signify the reemergence of 80's glam bands. It has lost the punk ideal it originally contained. These bands are in no way punk or DIY. They area all about image, wealth and lazy songwriting. [ ... ] i hate [ The "emo " fashion ]. Everyone likes to play dressup, But They get out of hand. I understand wanting to look different than the jocks and the squares but It Seems thatthere is a lack of substance to the new fashion. And It Seems awfully expensive. So, it must take a lot of time to polish all Of Those rings and belt buckles. Maybe I am just jealous because i can not pull off pink swooping bangs with a lip piercing and woman 's jeans. [ ... ] "

The author Tao Lin built the band a Eeee Eee Eeee in his book. In this book discuss the characters on tape and the songs and quote the lyrics.

The 20 tracks of the band carry almost all no names, similar to other Emo bands such as Indian Summer. An exception is the song Less Than Nothing, who was appearing on the first half-page LP released on a later Sampler officially given a name.

In Everything2 is to read about the lyrics of the band:

" I Hate Myself, rising out of a scene did relied on cryptic lyrics and fragmentary liner notes, eagerly proclaiming Their worthless lives, Their desires to be accepted and loved, Their utter hopelessness. It was a bit odd. Yet, while there are traces of humor in the bands work, the Majority of It Seems to be delivered Entirely without irony. "
