History

The band only recorded an album [a] and three EPs (one of the EPs being a split with The Shyness Clinic) between 1997 and 1998. They were unknown in their original years and gained attention in later years due to their success of their debut self-titled EP, which had a distinct sound from other emo bands with its blend of indie pop. [4] During their original time together, they went on one tour in the summer of 1999. Their final show in their original run was on February 26, 2000 at Clunk Music Hall in Fayetteville, Arkansas with Les Savy Fav. [5]

After the group's disbandment, Lee Buford, who played drums, formed The Body. John Beachboard and Collins Kilgore formed American Princes.

In 2022, Numero Group announced they would be reissuing the band's discography. The material was released as a double album in 2023 titled Paper Airplanes, Paper Hearts, named after the song from their self-titled EP. [6] The band also started playing shows, starting with a formal hometown reunion show and an appearance at the Numero Twenty festival. On June 3, 2024, the band revealed a new song from the post-reunion sessions titled "We're All Losing It", [7] written during the solar eclipse and recorded the same week. [8] On June 25, a second song, "A Vigil", was announced, along with the formal announcement of the Never Leave EP's release on August 5. [9]

Midwest emo refers to the emo scene and/or subgenre that developed in the 1990s Midwestern United States. Employing unconventional vocal stylings, distinct guitar riffs and arpeggiated melodies, Midwest emo bands shifted away from the genre's hardcore punk roots and drew on indie rock and math rock approaches. According to the author and critic Andy Greenwald, "this was the period when emo earned many, if not all, of the stereotypes that have lasted to this day: boy-driven, glasses-wearing, overly sensitive, overly brainy, chiming-guitar-driven college music." Midwest emo is sometimes used interchangeably with second-wave emo. Although implied by the name, Midwest emo does not solely refer to bands and artists from the Midwestern United States, and the style is played by outfits across the United States and internationally.
