Council of Five Nations


"Council of Five Nations is not about making any political change. It is not about money, popularity or any other disease such as those. It is about your every-day life. It is about what pisses you off, what makes you happy, and most importantly what makes you sad. Every member of Council of Five Nations has some personal or political problem with life and this is our way of letting it all out. If you can relate to that then I need not write another word, but if you cant relate then you are farther from this world than you believe you are." - Chris Swirski
There's a Discohijack post for this band (thanks to them for the 4 way split), but I seem to have found some extra stuff. Looks to be active 1994-1996, and from Connecticut. This band is actually really good. I honestly enjoy all their songs, they're all quite good. I'm guessing this is their discography, I haven't seen anything else.

The four-way split between In Vain, Council of Five Nations, Know Nothing, and Thinner is pretty sweet. All bands share members are from Connecticut it seems, good stuff from all them to be honest. The split with In Vain is pretty iconic and seems to be their most popular song (it's at least on youtube.) The unreleased material has the track off the split with In Vain, plus some other great stuff.

Really just all of it has amazing instrumentals and interesting vocals. It's very 90s emo, but quite interesting in comparison to a lot of the generic emo being produced in the mid 90s. So much cool stuff I've been finding to post here recently. Go listen!

    1. Hey there, I took a look at my mega account(s) and due to being a bit of a mess it doesn't appear too easy to post one link for that.

      I have been wanting to provide a single link download repository for my blog in case mega.nz goes under. It will likely be a google drive and/or a torrent. I can't guarantee it will be soon, but it's on the list of things to do.

      Thanks!
