History

Recover is a post-hardcore band composed of Dan Keyes (guitar/vocals), Robert Mann (guitar/vocals), Ross Tweedy (bass), and Santiago "Jimmy" Vela III (drums). The band recorded a four-song demo in the spring of 2000. The demo found its way to Fueled by Ramen Records via the band's friends in fellow Austin band The Impossibles. The band later released their debut album, Rodeo & Picasso, in the summer of 2001.

The band toured extensively in support of the album, and in 2002, released a follow-up EP on Fiddler Records, Ceci n'est pas recover. The band continued an exhaustive touring schedule with bands such as Jimmy Eat World, AFI, The Get Up Kids, Braid, Thrice, My Chemical Romance, Thursday, Taking Back Sunday and Coheed and Cambria. The band would eventually sign to Universal imprint Strummer Recordings, alongside The Rapture and The Mars Volta in late 2002.

In summer 2003, the band retreated to Austin Texas to write their second full-length, This May Be The Year I Disappear, with help from producer Rory Phillips, a process that would take eight months due to recording setbacks. The band later recorded material with Linkin Park producer Don Gilmore at NRG Studios in Los Angeles, but according to the band's label the recordings weren't up to par and the band headed back to Texas to proceed recording with Rory Phillips. Mixed by Andy Wallace, This May Be the Year I Disappear was released in October 2004.

The band embarked on a co-headlining tour with Armor for Sleep and Say Anything in early 2005. Later that year, the band suddenly went on hiatus, citing Keyes' desire to move to New York and start a new project.

In 2007 Recover announced they would be playing their first show in two years for the Everyone Knows Everyone music festival in Austin, Texas on June 30, 2007 at Emo's.

After reforming with Keyes' Young Love in early 2009, the band announced that they had officially reunited and would perform several more shows in California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Texas.

In December 2016, the band was billed at Margin Walker's Sound On Sound festival, which subsequently rained out resulting in a surprise performance at Austin's The Mohawk, their first performance in 5 years.

Current projects

By 2005, Dan Keyes relocated to New York and new dance-rock project, Young Love, was signed to Island Records. The band released an EP in 2006 and their debut full-length TooYoung to Fight It in early 2007. Robert Mann is credited on the album and on tour with the band as well as Ross Tweedy performing live on bass. Santiago Vela III joined the band for their second album, One of Us, released in April 2009 on Island Records. Vela also spent a brief period with The Impossibles.

In October 2011, The Sword announced Santiago Vela III as their permanent drummer.

In 2012, Robert Mann joins Hector's Pets, based in Brooklyn, New York, releasing a self-titled 7" on Burger City Rock n' Roll in 2013, and full length album, Pet-o-feelia, on Oops Baby Records.

In 2016, Dan Keyes formed Cologne, based in Los Angeles, California. In 2016, Mann debuted a new project, Bob Mann & The Rolling Thunder, based in Brooklyn, New York.
