I've had a fucking shitty week, so this seems like karma Kramer.
So they were dicks, apparently. And yes, the majority of their discography is passable. But when I HATE MYSELF hit their stride, holy fucking shit did they saunter and strut (whilst crying, mind you).
I HATE MYSELF played a very original sounding mid-western almost folky/grungy-sounding screamy hardcore with lots of slower pretty (but sad) parts. The lyrics and vocals really steal the show here, with frontman Jim Marburger's dealing with what sounds like some serious depression and they leave a pretty-yet-obtuse impression on the listener. The crooning sounds like Die Emperor Die mixed with Saetia but with a much better grasp of melody and the screamy parts also mirror those same two bands. The music itself lends more to bands like Twelve Hour Turn, Toru Okada and again Die Emperor Die, which is a lulling, dense and dark post-rock meets post-hardcore kinda deal, Like I said earlier I could (and do) easily bypass a good 75% of their material without a hesitation, but the following songs from the following releases really struck a chord with me over a decade ago and still do:
1996 - 4 Songs "One" and "Three"
1997 - 10 Songs "This Isn't the Tenka-ichi-Bud-Kai" and "Caught in a Flood with the Captain of the Cheerleading Squad"
1997 - 10 Songs "This Isn't the Tenka-ichi-Bud-Kai" and "Caught in a Flood with the Captain of the Cheerleading Squad"
2000 - 2 Songs "Drama in the Emergency Room" and "Darren's Roof"
