twothirtyeight

from Wikipedia.org



Twothirtyeight is a former band that has been classified as indie rock as well as emo. Neither of these genres fully encapsulate what Twothirtyeight was.



Beginning around 1995 in Pensacola, Florida, Twothirtyeight released three EPs independentely and began growing in popularity. After signing with the now-defunct Takehold Records in 1999, Twothirtyeight released the full length album Missing You Dearly (produced by Brett Detar of The Juliana Theory) which was dedicated to their former guitarist Kevin Glass, who died in a tragic car accident in 1997. The band switched record labels in 2000 and signed with Tooth & Nail Records. On this label they released their sophomore and junior albums, Regulate the Chemicals and You Should Be Living. You Should Be Living was produced by James Wisner who has also worked with Further Seems Forever and Dashboard Confessional. These released achieved considerable popularity not only in their home state of Florida, but also throughout the U.S



In April 2003 Twothirtyeight decided to call it quits after eight years of music making. The band members dispersed on a good note and went on to pursue individual dreams. Notably, the lead vocalist Chris Staples is currently the head of the indie rock band Discover America.

Undoubtedly a challenging and progressive undertaking, twothirtyeight created accessible and beautifully macabre dissertations on adolescence and the hereafter. R.I.P.
