Re: [sdre-l]: uh, hi?

1999-10-23 Thread Paul Hack 


Hey there. As far as the Engik/Christianity stuff you should go check out
sunnydayrealestate.com and read the band history stuff and its links. I've
attached a good file of FAQs to start you out. As far as other bands with
the same emotional intensity and style (i guess emo ia as good a word as
any), I'd heartily recommend Mineral, Christie Front Drive, Promise
Ring(earlier stuff), Cap'n Jazz, Get Up Kids (earlier stuff), At The Drive
In, Fugazi, and Rainer Maria for a start. These are all bands other Sunny
Day fans I've known have liked almost immediately when they first heard them
(this includes me, of course). Well, good luck, and enjoy.

Re: [sdre-l]: voice change?

1999-10-23 Thread Paul Hack 

Could just be the mix, but I prefer to think it's his vocal skills
developing. There's a lot more texture and subtlety to the vocals on LP2,
HowItFeels, and FrogQueen. That's not to say that Diary doesn't rock me like
a hurricane.

Re: [sdre-l]: New Label

1999-10-13 Thread Paul Hack 

Timebomb is a small indie label that seems to favor punk and electronica.
They have bands like No Knife and Aquabats, and bands like Elevator Drops
and Death In Vegas. I don't have any Timebomb records, and I really don't
understand SDRE's choice of the label, but I'm expecting good things. (Of
course, I had silly fantasies of a holy Sunny Day/Jade Tree communion, but
alas...)

[sdre-l]: [sdre-l] early SDRE

1999-10-04 Thread Paul Hack 

What I would really like is for some kind person to tape me their 
copies of Flatland Spider, Thief Steal Me A Peach, and any other early 
and/or obscure SunnyDay material.  I have had no luck in finding copies 
of my own.  I will trade tapes of anything in my (fairly large) CD/vinyl 
collection... just let me know what you're interested in.
Please can't someone help me?

[sdre-l]: [sdre-l]Vehicle Birth

1999-10-04 Thread Paul Hack 

Hey, any Vehicle Birth fans out there?  This was an innovative, 
emo-influenced band who put out one great LP on Crank! records (still 
available), and self-published two obscure 7"s.  They broke up in the 
middle of their last tour, this past spring.
But don't despair-- there is a posthumous split 7" with the Wicked 
Farleys out now on Doom Nibbler records, and former VB frontman Timothy 
James has just finished recording his first LP with his new band, The 
Movies.  He's shopping it around, but Crank! has already shown interest. 
 They've got a more mellow, introspective sound, which even includes 
(gasp!) keyboards-- but as with the VB, Tim's inspired songwriting is 
the key element.
I urge you all to check out The Vehicle Birth now, and The Movies 
when their first album is released sometime in the next few months.

[sdre-l]: [sdre-l]hardcore Jeremy

1999-10-04 Thread Paul Hack 

Has anyone heard, or were any recordings even made of Jeremy's pre-SDRE 
bands Reason For Hate and Tears For The King???  Is it good stuff, and 
where do I find it?
