These guys are kind of a mystery. No Myspace page, no known pictures, hardly any recognition whatsoever, even in the underground screamo world. But I was able to find this wiki page on them on this underground music wiki page. They used to be a part of the Post-Punk band Sender/Receiver, then released an alright ST and their incredible full length, and 3/4ths of the band went on to Racc-oo-oon. These Chaotic screamo dudes only released one full album in 2004, which is The Tarpit, produced by Waking Records company. But this one album, in my opinion, is better than the big screamo giants like Hot Cross and Saetia combined. This quartet has an amazing dual vocal system, and their instrument technical proficiency is beyond amazing. Definitely one of my top albums ever. It makes me glad that we're now the only blog that I know of to share these fellows, and I hope more follow suit.
They were from Iowa, not Oklahoma.
