Wavelets

Wavelets is a band from Gainesville, Florida.

Ryan Willems (bass), Lee Kraft (drums), Steven Gray (vocals), Scott 'Tang' Carr, Luke Moses

You might recognize some of these names as band members of other bands in the same era of music, these guys were prevalent in making music and it shows in the different bands they've been in. The most notable of these bands (I would say) is Dikembe which is still going strong nearly 20 years into their lifespan, Send away stranger is more sonically sounding to wavelets in my opinion though.

This band played a unique emo sounds the sounds of which you probably like if you've found my blog, twinkly methodical emo sounds galore

They've released several demos and singles as well as splits most of which have been compiled in "Athaletics", with the exclusion of very few tracks, namely those being their "Cuss words" demo written only 3 days into the existence of the band, and also "Random acts of Grindness" which was a song originally meant to be on the official release of "Curse Words" but was left out. I'm really happy to be sharing these again with the world. 

side note: I've found the original artwork for the cusswords EP but haven't been able to find any album art for RAOG, so I'll be using a filler photo.

Wolf Pacts

 

"Wolf Pacts formed in late 2010 in Palmerston North, they consisted of Dion (Sets of 57) on drums, Alex (Mega Sneak) On Vocals and Jake on Bass. They played fast and noisey party songs, released a demo and played a few handfuls of shows before splitting amongst a large amount of small town drama."

- Last.FM

Not much out there about this band but they played a fuzzy garage punk sound with low quality recordings, sounds like a lot of the mid 2000's DIY stuff that people are after, so give it a listen.

Aww James

 

 

 

Aww James is a punk rock band from Phillipsburg New Jersey, created in late 2004 By brothers Joe and Brian who then later added Ryan and Todd, from all I can tell apparently there was some bad blood between the members of the band which had Brian leaving and being replaced very early in the band's existence. From all I can gather, this is their only CD release, the other music being demos from the now defunct PureVolume site (IYKYK)

st. geme

 

I have nothing to say about this band, I have 0 band history, about any previous or music that followed after this EP

with that out of the way

St. Geme  formed around 2008 in Hollister / Monterey, Califronia (information from LastFM)

beyond that the musicians are as follows

Michael Glines

Alaina Musich

Brett Nickel

Zachary McPherson

and 

Andy Snyder

who are now later in other musical projects, Alaina is a piano teacher as well as a solo artist, michael and brett played together in Sugar Sauce around 2014 / 15

as for Zachary and Andy I haven't found anything concrete on them currently

as for their sound for this album I'd say it's a mixture of indie alternative with some emo? undertones, I know I am not describing that properly but it's a blend of all three, something at first I wasn't sure if i was going to add to this blog as it might not have fit the somewhat theme I have of alternative and emo music, but after a couple of listens (only 4 songs) , I could tell that it deserves a place here

- LastFM

I don't know much about this band in all honesty except for the fact that I'm missing nearly their entire discog, so if anyone wants to help me out with that that would be dope.

this is some mid 2000's screamo hardcore that was peak myspace material, def worth a listen.

The Old Guard (MA)

 

(Now named Dry Spell) A Worcester, MA pop-punk band composed of vocalist Tom Rayder, Guitarists Xavier Mauprivez and Andrew Ollerhead, bassist Zach Sullivan, and drummer Matt Noyes

- LastFM

not gonna lie, I don't know much about this band besides the fact that they were around as TOG from at least 2009 to 2013 after which they changed their name to Dry Spell, I saw on their FB that they have an acoustic EP but I can't find it. if anyone has it lmk

this EP according to my metadata was released in 2009 unsure if that's true; as for sound they sound like a mellow garage / pop punk band kinda like a more rock version of Pants Yell! or something, maybe i'm off in that judgment and you all would like to listen yourselves

Truth Is....

 "Est. in the summer of 07'.

Brought the 'punk' back to pop-punk.

Released a demo, the Three Words EP, as well as a single intended for a debut album to be released on State of Mind recordings. Unfortunately the band dissolved before it could be released."

taken directly from lastfm, written by I think the guitar player? I reached out to him but haven't heard back yet.

found this band when searching for a different lost band with the same name on reddit, this band is from california where I think the other band is from north carolina; maybe idk.

anyway, this band plays a very mid 2000's pop punk that I ate up at the time, sharing the music with my partner they thought it actually sounded pretty good and I had to agree, definitely something I could see on a pure noise sampler something in the vein of man overboard or the like.

here is what I think the band members were at the time of their breakup, if I'm wrong oh well, until I hear otherwise this is what it is.

either way I'm sharing with you, their only EP titled..... three words e.p , kinda lackluster but who cares, besides this I'm missing a demo which I can't find and the Full length I'm unsure was even recorded to completion so for archiving's sake this is the thing that proves the band existed.

I hope you enjoy, I know I did.

three words e.p (200x?)

2) Don't Make Me Fight You ... Naked

3) You Know What To Do

P.S there's a hidden "track" after the end of the last song, FFO: propane
