I cannot find anything about this band. Googling their name, the split mentioned here, and other things brings me up nothing, so hit me up if you know anything about them. The demo here is dated to 2000, so I'm assuming the split is close to that time as well. The music is a softer emo with math/midwest vibes. I can't remember if the demo is from my old collection, or I just downloaded it early in my blog days, but I tracked down the split recently. It's really fucking good. Srsly go download, and listen.

This was a local band (from the Virginia Beach area), i don't remember much else about them except having a burned demo CD back in the day. The songs we have now (demo + split) were from a local forum (https://web.archive.org/web/20110220010233/http://www.artinheart.org:80/bored/). I'm sure some of the folks there would have had more info on the band (or maybe have even played in it), but the forum was shut down a while back. There used to be a section with releases of local bands.
