1992-1994 | various self-releases
early emo from ottowa. i can't take credit for discovering this band, or even listening to them when i was at the ripe age of six years old. some old dude from baton rouge who happened to marry my best friend was showing off his records last christmas and broke out their full length, coliseum (released in 1993 on council records). i listened and loved. this discography moves backwards in time, beginning with the band's final 7" and ending with their earliest releases (total 180 on the vocals, right? i really just prefer the later stuff)

They were not from Ottawa, they were from Dearborn Michigan. They were in existence for 3-4 years and put out a number of 7"s, one 12", and various tracks on some of the most sought after "emo" comps of the day, and their legendary split with Indian Summer.
ReplyDeleteOttawa was a band formed from a couple of members of Current, and other bands. Not very comparable to Current at all. very d-beat/grindcore with dueling vocals. Still awesome though, and available for the first time it 16 years on LP format.
Thank you for uploading this, as this CD discography is getting harder and harder to find. I have most of these songs, as I've searched out every Current record I could find, but some of these tracks are all but inaccessible outside of the discography.
can you re up the Current discography?
