CrackedThe European Translation Of - Lights We Stole To Let Stars Sparkle (2003) Full AlbumTravis M.2017-08-29 | Post-Hardcore / Emo band from Germany.

The Public Prosecutor's Final SpeechHuffy - Anything Goes / Handlebars 7 + No High Five LP (1995/1998) *Full*Travis M.2017-08-21 | Infectiously catchy 90's pop-punk from Vermont. Huffy has long been a favorite of mine, and I'm surprised I hadn't uploaded this stuff long before now. Bummer that they weren't around for very long (94?-97), but it seems the sun always sets far too soon on bands like this. "No High Five" was actually released the year after their breakup, and appears to still be available from Me Too! Records: http://www.metoorecords.com
This would be their discography, except for two songs from a 1994 split 7" with Six Cents And Natalie, which I don't (but should) own.

Grow UpBilly - The Band [EP] (2000) FullTravis M.2017-07-16 | 90's emo band from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I believe this was the last thing they released, but feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. Released in 2000 on The Life Recording Company. If you can find their first EP "The Dream Motion Man", definitely pick that one up.
Tracklist:
1.) The Ride 2.) Scrapbook 3.) The Instrumental 4.) Red Sky 5. Giant Xmas ToysDrifts Get Deeper / Reno Kid - Split (1999) FullTravis M.2017-07-16 | Drifts Get Deeper were from the U.S. (Kentucky, I think?); Reno Kid were from Muenster, Germany. Both bands were really good, but one of only two Reno Kid contributions "The Ten Second Rule" is worth every penny you pay for this CD. Released in 1999 on Nerd Rock Records, and also on vinyl in Germany on Soda Records.
Tracklist:
Drifts Get Deeper: 1.) Miracle Tonight 2.) Put It Under The Pillow 3.) TV And Me 4.) Maybe One Day
Reno Kid: 5.) Snowflake Kisses At Smalltown Busstops 6.) The Ten Second RuleLandmine Spring - Your World (1999) Full AlbumTravis M.2017-07-16 | Post-Hardcore/emo band from the Czech Republic, in my opinion, this one is even better than "Ride", with more of a Boilermaker feel, especially in the vocal delivery. Released in 1999 on Day After Records.
Tracklist:
1.) Seconds 2.) Shotgun 3.) Your World 4.) Sound Wave 5.) Wasted Time 6.) Nightmare 7.) Everything's BackLandmine Spring - Ride (1999) Full AlbumTravis M.2017-07-16 | Post-Hardcore/emo band from the Czech Republic, always thought they had a heavy Samiam and Boilermaker feel to them, especially their early stuff.

Fuckitaboutit 11.) You've Done Enough Already 12.) Nobody's BusinessUnder The Church - Space Invaders (1996) Full AlbumTravis M.2017-07-01 | Melodic punk from Hannover, Germany. I think they were only around for a few years, all that I know of is this album, and two EP's. Anyway, these guys were pretty sick, if you're into (old) Randy, Adhesive etc.. It does have a 90's Swedish punk feel to it. Released in 1996 on New Lifeshark Records.
Go to 2:18 to skip the crazy intro.

BrainwashedMix Tape #17: Emo goodness...Travis M.2017-06-27 | This was the ending of what most call the "second wave", before fashion took precedence over art; and it was forever linked to some of the most shallow and awful music ever made.
I didn't notice until it was finished, but this is basically an "America vs. Germany" comp.. haha, but it serves it's greater purpose; showcasing some lesser-known bands from that era. I've stated before that I've always hated the word "emo", and I do. But always for the sake of a ridiculous genre argument (inevitable anyway), I still use it. Anyway, I realize some of the songs do not match up to the particular release in the photo, it was a last minute change and I was just too lazy to drag all those cd's out again. Most of these are imports and/or are out of print, but with five minutes of Googling, it's fairly easy to find copies or digitally via Bandcamp etc..
Okay, enjoy.

Check my videos for the full album.Dork Astronaut - Well You Know, I Hate To Be A Downer (1998) Full AlbumTravis M.2017-06-20 | Incredible one-off band from Germany. Dork Astronaut were around for about five years, and claimed members from late 80's/early 90's alt-rock bands: From Outer Space, and The Rough Situation; and also the long-running band, Loretta. Musically, well, Um. Two parts Pavement and Lemonheads, one part Americana (hence the Byrds/Gram Parsons cover) ala Volebeats and The Vulgar Boatmen, A hint of 80's R.E.M., and bit of 90's emo... and, there you have it. I wish they had put out more than just one record, because this is amazing. Released in 1998 on Soda Records (Label operated by members from Pale, another great German band; check my two previous videos) Enjoy.
Tracklist:
1.) Satellite Song 2.) Girlfriend Competition 3.) I'm Hit 4.) Dear 25 5.) A Dork In The House Of Love 6.) Hickory Wind 7.) Nantucket Freebird 8.) I Rent A Kill 9.) Rocket USA 10.) Buck Weeds 11.) Scott 5 12.) SilencePale - Drop Pants For Food (1996) Full AlbumTravis M.2017-05-21 | One of my favorite bands from Germany. This is Pale's second full-length, and carries on the alternative rock sound from "Swear Jar", but throws in a more punk and emo influence that becomes very prominent on their 1999 album "Another Smart Move". FFO: Goo Goo Dolls, Buffalo Tom, Samiam, Texas Is The Reason, etc..
Released in 1996 on Soda Records.
Tracklist: 1.) Order Of 2.) Memory Man 3.) Silent 4.) Cells Are You 5.) Back 6.) Liquid Room 7.) Sure Thing 8.) Even For You 9.) Was All About 10.) ReflectedPale - Swear Jar (1994) Full AlbumTravis M.2017-05-21 | 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.

(2006) Full AlbumTravis M.2017-04-02 | Incredible pop-punk band from Italy, often venturing into skatepunk territory; rife with vocal harmonies and tempo changes, almost makes me forget I can't understand a thing they're saying. If the band or any of the FIVE labels this was released in conjunction with would like this taken down, just send me a message and I will. Enjoy.

Perhaps best known for their appearance on the comp series with the worst name ever, but with some of the best bands (the first seven entries, anyway) The Emo Diaries (Chapter 7 - Me Against The World) To my knowledge, Waterpistol released two CD's, and one vinyl 7". If any member of the band would like this to be taken down, just send me a message and i'll remove it. Just always thought this was too good to go unheard.

Two For FlinchingSomeday I - :ref 4 (2002) Full AlbumTravis M.2017-03-18 | Told you guys I would get around to it. Second (and slightly better) album from the Colorado punk/post-punk/post-hardcore etc.. band. Seriously, if you're into anything from Hoover, Shiner, Far, Drive Like Jehu, Jawbox; hell even Deftones, you'll probably dig these guys. I say it a lot, but in this case it truly is shamefully criminal that Someday I weren't more well-known in their time. Released in 2002 on Owned and Operated Recordings. As I was never able to get a response from a band member or person from the label regarding the okie dokie to post up these two albums, if you see this and would like them taken down, just message me and I will do so.

But whoa. Due to overwhelming demand, I'm uploading the full album. Enjoy. Released in 1999 on Owned and Operated Recordings.

More Than LifeSomeday I - Physics And ChemistryTravis M.2017-03-10 | Track 5 on the album "Look Up And Live", released in 1999 on Owned & Operated Recordings. Lyrics -- Each half-life cuts harder. Half of half a million times, it never ends the paradox: drawing down, pulling answers, bending light the brightest star sends. But in the weight of the moment it doesn't mean a thing. Weight is a measure of cohesion. Half-life crises: two movements convergent. Half life crises: pathways lead us to a more stable state. What keeps clouds together? "Hydrogen bonds" you said - like our viscosity, like water, holding together in the summer night at the reservoir. Larger than life, the weight of the moment. This is what makes life so beautiful. Physics and chemistry. This is the attraction, a lack of hesitation. Our bodies outweighing the moment, we could have done anything.Errortype: 11 - Better Than The SuperbowlTravis M.2017-02-04 | Lyrics: Like the ones who find, you will never follow and life gets serious need never to replace that fear again. Like the ones who find you will never follow and if they ever ask me why you know the reasons I'll share. You can't tell me how to say just when to go away and you can't tell me how to know just when to leave your show my friend cause it seems like forever. Like the ones that try to let you down and they're the ones that sit there and leave you underground. Someone teach me how to be. Someone teach me how to never ever be like them my friend now I'll leave you on the ground. Someone teach me how to be while I'm underground.Baron Automatic - Wayfunner (1997) Full AlbumTravis M.2017-01-04 | Melodic punk/pop-punk from southern California, released by Dummyup Inc. in 1997.

I wish a noteworthy label would collect all of their Snuffy Smile records and re-release them, because they are insanely tough to get here in the states. This was their last record for Snuffy Smile, and was released in 2003.

These guys are great, as was their first album "Ou Est Le Magnetophone?" although it was a bit of a departure from this EP (vocalist change, new musical direction). But It's worth a listen too. Haven't really heard their last record "Partypeople", so I can't comment in that one. This EP was released in 2000 on Kitchen Revolution Records. Enjoy! Find it, buy it.

What A Man Am I?My Pal Trigger - Theres Hope In No Tomorrow (1997) Full AlbumTravis M.2016-12-07 | Pop-punk from Florida, following a ton of 7" vinyl releases, this was their one and only album. They also released an EP on Kat Records in '98 called "Lessons in Ancient History" before fading away. Released in 1997 on Second Guess Records. Enjoy, it's a good one.
Tracklist: 1.) Sharks Don't Sleep 2.) The Better Part Of Yesterday 3.) This Quiet Earth 4.) The Sometimes Slave 5.) Cooper 454 6.) Last Bad Situation 7.) Cemetery Gates 8.) How To Grow Old 9.) Two Miles From Nowhere 10.) Good RiddanceMissioNaries - Superficial Self-Amusement (1995) Full AlbumTravis M.2016-12-01 | Mid-90's alt-rock band from Miami, Oklahoma. I bought this CD probably 15 years ago? from the used bin, based on the cover art alone. Came out a winner on that $3 purchase. Just figured them a really good, but a tragically one-off band that whack-a-moled on the scene. You can Google the band and album and title, but you won't get very far; the Discogs page, and an old review where it seems the reviewer can't decide whether they like them or not. But they keep comparing them to the band Live. Ehhhh. The MissioNaries sound straight-up Minneapolis to me: The Replacements, Soul Asylum, Bob Mould, with a dose of Buffalo Tom and Gin Blossoms thrown in. This was recorded at the Legendary Red House Studios in Lawrence, KS by the even more Legendary Ed Rose from the mighty Kill Creek, I don't think the bands from that scene have any other ties to this band, just a cool piece of info. Anyway, released in 1995 on Outback records. Enjoy.
**Oh yeah, as I was not able to get in contact with any band members to get permission beforehand, if any of you see this and would like this to be taken down, just leave a comment or message me directly. Thanks. **

I first heard of these guys from their split with fellow Minnesotans, Porcelain Boys (another band you you should also very much check out). When I wound up moving up to the Twin Cities, I worked with a guy who was a huge Marble fan, and hooked me up with his spare copy of the "Spinning Around" Reissue ( different artwork and label: discogs.com/Marble-Spinning-Around/release/6980838 ) After my old roommate had a party, some giant butthole made off with that CD, and around a dozen others of lesser significance; and I've spent the decade since trying to find another one. Anyway, through all internetting, googlywebbing, etc.. I talked with Peter from Ben Grim/The Davis Baby:( facebook.com/The-Davis-Baby-197130937018359 ) and he told me he would be glad to send me his personal copy. Which is an original version on Taysteee Records. So unending thanks to him for helping me add it to my collection again after all these years. I realize the album is posted to YouTube via individual tracks, but this is a record that definitely needs to be heard beginning to end. True lost, mega rare 90's gem. FFO ALL/ Descendents, Porcelain Boys, Ben Grim, G-Whiz, Big Drill Car, Doughboys etc...
By the way, if any band members would like this removed, just say the word.
UPDATE: This is being Re-Released on August 9th by the fine folks at Waterslide Records in Japan, with some unreleased tracks as a bonus. Not sure if it will be released in the states, but I'm sure Boss Tuneage will have copies too. And possibly available directly from the band. Out of all the long lost 90's punk gems, this one is by far most deserving of a re-release.

Released in 2000 on The Edge Recordz. This is a true hidden gem, as is basically everything this label released: early No Motiv, Ill Repute, The Sick etc.. They released a follow up titled "The Bonnie Situation" in 2002 on the same label, perhaps i'll track that one down someday. Ok.. enjoy.

This was a co-release between Sun.Sea.Sky, and No Karma Recordings. Not a clue why they didn't stick around longer, but this album is definitely miles ahead of most in that genre. Awesome vocals, warm, textured guitar melodies, nice production, and I dig the artwork; inside and out. The bass player went on to play in San Geronimo; another band whose EP you can find on my channel. Anyway, I did a Googly search, and I was surprised to see the CD is still available after all these years, so you can pick that up, or the digital version here: sunseasky.bandcamp.com/album/pacific-standard-time

Over YouAmp 176 / Angels In The Architecture - Split EP (1999) FullTravis M.2016-09-15 | Split EP from two incredible bands, Angels In The Architecture having released one of my all-time favorite records: youtube.com/watch?v=feptdbpzoN4 Amp 176 were from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and AITA were from Buffalo, New York. The former reminds me of two bands who also contributed to a split record together: The Casket Lottery and Small Brown Bike. The latter, a bit more subdued and melodic; more along the lines of Christie Front Drive, Hankshaw, The Shyness Clinic etc.. This was released in 1999 on 1% Records, and for whatever reason, is much harder to find than most stuff on that label. If you do spot it, it's usually $100 bucks or something insane. I placed the start time of the AITA tracks at the beginning of track #6. Anyway, here it is. Enjoy.
Tracklist:
1.) Amp 176 - Stukter 2.) Amp 176 - The Young And The Restless 3.) Amp 176 - Omni View 4.) Amp 176 - Greyscale 5.) Amp 176 - Nuvo
6.) Angels In The Architecture - Sentimental Dress (18:26) 7.) Angels In The Architecture - Massapequa 8.) Angels In The Architecture - Who Killed The All American Girl? 9.) Angels In The Architecture - Bea Han's 27thThree Times Fast - Adjusting To Reality (2001) Full AlbumTravis M.2016-09-13 | Fast, melodic punk rock from Orange County, California. These guys ripped. FFO: Bigwig, Pridebowl, "Trashed" era Lagwagon etc.. Released independently in 2001, and way rare. Big thanks to guitarist David Hilal for permission to post this up. To see what he's up to these days, check out the recording studio he owns: http://www.soundconnected.net
Tracklist: 1.) Adjusting To Reality 2.) All I Can Say 3.) No Time 4.) Weakend 5.) Best Friend 6.) Cool? 7.) Stone Of Hate 8.) Picture Perfect 9.) Lost I.D. 10.) Nothing To Do But Laugh 11.) On My Own 12.) Fallen Asleep 13.) It All Works OutCall It In The Air - Just A Morning Thought (1998) Full AlbumTravis M.2016-09-12 | Yes, I can only assume they named the band after the song. Call It In The Air was an Indie/emo band from Michigan, possibly one of the best 90's emo bands you've never heard. If i'm ranking them, this one is up there for me... Amazing record. FFO: Benton Falls, Christie Front Drive, Angels In The Architecture etc.. To my knowledge, their discography consisted of only one album, and a split with Florida's The Maccabees (members of the mighty Pohgoh) and then faded away. Released on the tiny Florida hardcore label Outback Records near the end of it's existence, I'm guessing it didn't take long for this to go out of print. Shame. This is 110% deserving of a cd/vinyl re-release, someone get on the phone with someone in the know. Make it happen. But, for now....
If you're a band member, and you would like this taken down, please let me know and I'll do just that.

This is their insanely rare debut album, released both independently, and through mp3.com. And both versions are tough to find, the original of course being more sought after. This record is GOOD.

If I were to rank my top 50 punk records (in addition to taking forever and driving me insane), this record would be on that list. This was their only proper record, even though they were part of countless comps and splits. I think they've compiled everything (or almost everything) here: http://walker93.bandcamp.com
