One of my favorite bands from Germany. Most people are aware of these guys through their albums on Defiance Records, but Pale had two more albums and one EP released on the tiny label Soda Records prior to the more widely available "Another Smart Move" in 1999. Swear Jar is their first full-length, which took the tracks from their debut "Krusty Tag" EP and polished them up considerably. The band underwent some minor stylistic shifts over the years, beginning with more straight alternative rock, with some punk and emo elements that they would later evolve with. Just hear for yourself. Fans of Goo Goo Dolls, Buffalo Tom, and Doughboys will dig this for sure.
Released in 1994 on Soda Records.
Tracklist:
1.) Short Story
2.) Broken
3.) Turn My Pages
4.) Next
5.) Come Down
6.) Megadrug
7.) January
8.) Static
9.) Mind Crowded
10.) Unclean Spirit

Punk/Post-Hardcore band from Pennsylvania, They definitely put the melodic 90s emo favored on their first record more in the rearview, and turned things up. I was such a fan of Monuments, that when I first heard this, it took me forever to get into it. But I warmed up to it. If youre into stuff like Shiner, Giants Chair, Hoover etc.. you might dig this. Released in 2000 on Law Of Inertia (RIP) Rad label.
Tracklist:
1.) Unionized
2.) With Matches Lit
3.) Once Written In Concrete
4.) Trailerpark Surroundings
5.) 407 Hell Riot
6.) Minnesota Fist Fire")
