Holier Than Thou?

Holier Than Thou? formed in May of 1999. Jeff (guitar) & Noel (drums) were jamming on some song ideas influenced by a variety of '80s hardcore bands d.r. & Jeff were roomates and spent way too much time complaining to one another about the lameness of the scene at that time & waxing nostalgic about the glory days of their youth (mid '80s), and so Jeff asked d.r. to be the vocalist for his new project with Noel. needing a bass player, Noel coyly approached his 11th grade Math teacher, whom he knew to be a fossilized closet-punk from the Cretaceous Period, and inquired, "Hey, Mr. Sheffeild. what're you doin' tonight?". this, of course, scared the fecal matter right out of Kevin's large intestine (colon), and so he tentatively interrogated, "Whyyyyy?," to which Noel nefariously blurted out,"Wanna play some rockin' jams?". and the rest is history.
and i do mean "history". Holier Than Thou? finally called it quits in June of 2005, after more than 6 years of lagging, flailing, and generally creating a bad name for themselves ("Assholier Than Thou?" was one suggestion. this can be blamed largely on the addition of Graham on guitar in the Spring of 2003). it was agreed by all that this was the right time to end the mudslide, having somehow manged to tour the U.S. and Europe (twice) and to release a fair amount of music while being only semi-conscious the entire time. miraculously, they have all remained friends after countless dramas both at home and on tour (mostly d.r.'s fault). Holier Than Thou? wishes to thank all of the people that made their wild ride possible. this includes friends, bands, promoters, zines, labels, distros, and all of the coool-ass kids that came to shows, attacked the band, gave up some floor-space, shared their showers, fed & watered the horses and just generally stoked them out. the list is thousands long.
their hope is that people will continue to get their rocks off to their music long after the band's demise. this space was created to allow people to sample a bit of what the band was all about and to see if they would like to spend some of their hard-earned ducats to help bail out their investors (Kevin and d.r.). otherwise, enjoy the free mp3s and. ROCKS-OFF ON!!!
