Youtragedy


The first time I saw Youtragedy I didn't know who they were or that they were even playing the show. (I think it was Dead To Fall) playing at the Beta and Youtragedy opened the show and fucking owned it. The Singer Britton, was running and jumping on the ground, hanging from the bleachers, and hitting himself with the mic in the head. Needless to say it was fucking sick. Me and my friends looked around at each other like where the hell did these guys come from. The first demo they put out was good, but the next cd they released, Recycled Dance Moves And The Dress Up Parade(A.K.A. InThe Dead Pit Of Old) is what you need to download and listen to first if you have never heard them, it's bad ass. This band had a lot of talent. 2002-2005.
Original line up: Britton-Vocals Bryan-Bass AJ-Drums Jesse-Lead Guitar Chris-Guitar

GWPI


When I went to Sail High School, G.W.P.I. was THE band. The name is short for Guilty When Proven Innocent. They used to have patches that read: OJ was Guilty When Proven Innocent with a picture of OJ Simpson. I know there are tons of old pictures in the hands of some of the kids who went to their shows regularly like just about everyone at Sail did so if you are one of them, cough 'em up. For download here is their discography(Until The End) broken up into parts. Rest in peace Derek Biggs.

bass - Arron O'Rourke

...And Sometimes I

...And Sometimes I took hardcore and added a splash of thrash and even a little emo. I never really hear/heard that many people talk about this band. I don't know if it is because ANKOAS, Cream Abdul Babar, or one of the other sick Tally bands from the same time frame overshadowed them, or if just not many people ever heard of them. I always liked this band though. Just like most of the other bands on here I used to jam to their demo on a daily basis AND SOMETIMES I still do bust 'em out and jam. Britton the guitarist used to play shows wearing the weirdest shit ever. The first time I saw them they played with ANKOAS and Zegota at "the warehouse" in 2000 and Britton was wearing just a shower cap and boxers. Him and the bassist, Bryan, would later form Youtragedy. The singer, Chris, went to play guitar for My First Step Towards Failure, and the drummer, Andy, later formed The Bark The Bite.

(I don't know anything about these guys, I was'nt around back then. If anybody wants to write a description/history feel free to email it to me.)

Strateia

Strateia used to tour with one fifth and Evergreen all the time. They were one of two Christian metalcore bands from Tallahassee. The other was This Day I Die which I have no recordings of. (There may have been more but nothing worth mention I don't think.) They released an EP on Indianola records, which was really good I thought, and then broke up in 2003. The guitarist and the drummer, along with Scott Baker from xOne-Fifthx now play in an Indie-rock band called Slowdance. www.myspace.com/slowdance

One-Fifth

They started calling themselves xOne-Fifthx a little while before their split with Evergreen Terrace. This band is one of the few that actually stuck around for a while. They played on the Pigs Is Pigs tour with Evergreen and Strateia. They even played Hellfest 2002, which I had the pleasure of seeing, where they covered Jesus Wasn't Straight Edge But I Am like they often did. Back in the day they used to open for ANKOAS all the time. The singer, Lars, and the bassist, Barndon, formed Kids Like Us.
