   About End of a Year
Here's a short discography in reverse-chronological order, with commentary.

WHY IS THAT OWL STARING AT ME? -- SPLIT 7" w/KIDS EXPLODE
A companion to our European tour with Kids Explode. We contributed one song that might be our most mellow material up to this point. My voice is still a stank turd, but I come closer to singing than on previous efforts. I think it's a strong song, but I fear we may have been out-shined by Kids Explode here. Pick it up from www.narshardaa.com , if not for our song then definitely for the Kids Explode material.

WE UNDERSTAND EUROPEANS ARE A SEXUAL PEOPLE 7"
This record was a happy surprise. It has three original songs that have been described as our rawest material and a Colin Newman cover that we only somewhat butcher. Theres a song on here I doubt we will play live very often, but I'm really proud of it lyrically. I think one listen will convince any person to not get married. Take the test and listen to it, I'll give you your money back if you somehow talk yourself into marrying after hearing it. Or Niko at www.blacktoprecords.de will give you your money back.

GOD, THERE'S A LOT OF PAWN SHOPS AND CHECK CASHING PLACES IN THIS TOWN -- SPLIT 7" w/FIRE TEAM CHARLIE
I don't know exactly where to put this one chronologically. It was recorded before the release of the full-length and features a song that was later rerecorded. But it came out slightly after the full-length, which is why it's placed here on the list. It's a split with Houston's finest, Fire Team Charlie. I can't get around my vocals on this one. These dudes come in and lay down great songs and then I brutalize them with my shrill, grating vocals. Still, definitely worth getting for the underrated song "McEnroe". Weirdly, some people have told me they are into this one because the vocals are so rough. People are weird. Ben at www.stickysticky.co.uk can hook you up with one of these. Again, if not for us, then for the great band on the other side of the vinyl.

SINCERELY -- LP & CD
This record stands out most to me as a reminder of the recording experience. The Mariano Rivera of engineers, Don Zientara, was a joy to be in the same room with. Guy loves bread, avocados, and making bands sound better than they are. There's some songs I would've left off this if I had to do it again, but overall I think it's a great representation of where we were at as a band. It got some great reviews, but they all seemed to hate the last song on the record. That's a bummer, because that song is maybe the best we've written. Fight me, reviewers. If you are one of the 30 people worldwide who buys CDs, go to www.revhq.com or www.revelationrecords.com to get one. If you'd prefer vinyl, contact www.slaveunion.com

SPLIT 7" w/ THREE FIFTEEN
A split with our friends in Three Fifteen, a great, now defunct, Western Massachusetts band we toured with a lot. Looking back on it, we got a great sound on this record. Three songs. One of which is the best song we never play live and one we are still playing years later. Juustin at www.slaveunion.com probably has some of these laying around.

DISAPPEAR HERE -- CD
There were some phase issues in the recording of this one that strips it of some dynamics, but there are still some gems. Most of the songs are raw as hell, but a couple stand the test of time and could've been written by us now. Again with the vocals, but what can you do- I was going through puberty at age 24. Worth noting that we used a Brett Easton Ellis reference as a album title years before Bloc Party and Minor Times used it as a song title. We're hip. We're inheriting a box of these, so feel free to contact us if you'd like one. Cheap!

WARM -- DEMO CD & AUDIO CASSETTE
This is old and painful for me to listen to, but it still makes the rounds on fileshare networks so I figured it was worth mentioning. I have one copy left that I'll probably have buried with me, or at least burned so no one else can hear it. Nevertheless, this was a fun time in our lives and was probably better than most demos if we could look at it objectively.


BAND BIO: we wanted to play music we liked so we got together and did that shit. no one else really liked it and we were pretty comfortable being the band who tours the country but no one really likes and then revelation called one day and it was pretty weird but i like the kiss it goodbye record a lot so we decided to go with it. then that didn't go the way we planned and we put out a bunch of 7". dudes at deathwish saw that and it was weird but i really like the blinding light album so we decided to go with it. end bio.

I hate the word "fan", but I still love your music. And I still didn't fix my record player so I can't listen your 7" shits.

BTW I'm working on something special for you... you will see it, "when it's done"...

Take care, Gábor

Killing The Dream "Fractures" CD out now!!!



"Fractures" is Killing The Dream's latest full length effort. Over a year in the making, "Fractures" was engineered by J. Robbins at Magpie Studios (Jawbox, Burning Airlines). When vocalist Eli Horner erupts with "...This isn't what I hoped I'd have to say..." in "Part II", listeners hair stands on end. The electrically charged atmosphere he creates with his emotion induces awe. From that point on "Fractures" explodes as a shrapnel filled musical force. Unorthodox heaviness and raw melodies cut and crack the abrasive surface in songs like "Consequence" and "Resolution". While songs like "Holding The Claws" and "Fractures" showcase the band's ongoing creative evolution. Proving that you can progress and mature within the hardcore world, without ever having to leave it behind.

Order now in the DW Estore @ www. deathwishinc. com
