Salvage My Dream

"Fisher, who also plays in a band called Violent Sky And The Lightning Kite, has been working at this music for quite some time. You can tell." - Unlikely Stories "A breathtaking voice, likened to that of the late, great, Elliott Smith. Yet also harnessing the same menacing lo-fi feel of Sonic Youth" - Rhubarb Bomb "There’s no denying his high-living, but the question does remain: was ‘drinking champagne in the back of a transit’ and ingesting a ‘million different chemicals’ worth it for this resulting E.P? The answer is a resounding yes." - Jay Lawrance

Owls

Since their early high school days in 1989, the members of Owls -- Tim Kinsella , Mike Kinsella , Victor Villarreal, and Sam Zurick -- have been playing together in some form or another. They had their greatest success as Cap'n Jazz, a screamy emo/hardcore act that also included The Promise Ring's Davey von Bohlen during its later days. The group's youthful exuberance was intense, but things ran their course and they disbanded in 1994.

Joan of Arc

They began in 1995, following the break up of a former band, Cap'n Jazz. Joan of Arc are known for their use of electronics, samples, and multi-track recordings in their songs - some songs on The Gap contained over 100 tracks - although recently they have been writing in more traditional terms. Their lyrics and cover art are considered highly conceptual and confusing.
