Indian Summer
 

The early 90's is my favorite era of emo and Indian Summer is one of the best bands to have come out of it. Their split album with Embassy is my favorite. Check it out mofos.

Indian Summr ownz, amazing band. Reflections On Milkweed is nicee.

I don't like this band at all.
Reflections on Milkweed is like...nothing.
It's just some kid mumbling into a microphone.

Its pretty, word wise. I like to like, laydown to it and shiz.

Yeah, towards the end it gets better, but I find myself only enjoying like, the last 45 seconds of most Indian Summer songs. They aren't terrible, but they just take a while to pick up. (by a while I mean the latter part of their songs) leaving you about 30-45 seconds of enjoyability each song. Naamean?

Yeah I knoww, its kind of like when you listen to it. After you're done, it feels like you've been listening to them for along time, when really it was just a couple of songs. Still good though

This band blow my mind. Orchard and Angry Son are too good to be real.

I find that you need to have an acquired taste to really appreciate Indian Summer. They're ok I guess but the only time I cnan eevr really get into their stuff is when I'm sleepy or something.
I much prefer Envy to them.

I think I like Sugar Pill the most by them. Or maybe it was called something else. Oh well, it'll come to me

Peace

I find the comparison to Envy kind of funny. I just wouldn't have thought have putting them together. I think to enjoy them for the first time you should listen to other early 90's prior. To me they almost have an emo/indie feel.

Whenever I think of Indiam Summer I also think of Envy. Can't help the way my mind works.

Peace

They're different that's for sure, and I get what you're saying about the emo/indie feel, the beginning of their songs remind me of something Broken Social Scene would do.

It's good, not exactly my thing, a bit too different for me.

Angry Son the greatest emo song ever? I believe so.

emo is a gy name for a genre, and ros is the ****, i like indian summer, but not as much as ros, but i dont think anyone likes ros anymore. w/e.

"Emotional hardcore? As if hardcore wasn't emotional enough." -Ian Mackaye some Embrace show 1986 or 5.

Everyone knows its stupid.

Angry Son is one of the most perfect songs I've heard, which is probably a really stupid input to have to this thread, but it is. You wouldn't question a thing about that song, it's just .. great. 'Mazin band.

Anyone who's seriously into them they rereleased Live Blue Universe. It's like 18 dollars and they made 2000, which sounds like a little but for a band as not popular as they are I don't see any need to rush.

I might get that.

I listened to their discography recently, and it gets better all the time. The way their songs build up is bliss. And yes, Angry Son is the best emo song ever. Even better than Drink Deep by Rites of Spring.

i have both Live Blue Universe and their Discog. actually, other than ROS and SDRE, Indian Summer got me into emo

oh, and my band covered angry son.
and sorry in advance for making the vocals too shrieky, it was our first show, i was listening to too much discordance axis at the time, and i don't have any recordings of the latter shows where i didn't use shrieking.

^^ our band dude. our band. (0wn3d)

i didn't expect you to post here! :))
anyway, yeah, our band. :P

capulette is from philippines right? nice band guys!

Say Hi to Your Mom-Blizzard uses the exact same rift used in Angry Son. At first I was like I've never even heard of this band why does this sound so fimiliar. I wonder if it's coincidence or accidental influence.

Since we're on the topic of Angry Son, what do you guys think are the absolute best emo songs of all time?
Off the top of my head:
Indian Summer - Angry Son
Rites Of Spring - Drink Deep
Navio Forge - Haloed Eyes
Portraits Of Past - Bang Yer Head
Moss Icon - Guatemala

Don Martin 3-Fire As A Metaphor 4
Moss Icon-Kick the Can
Five-O- Co-Op
Unherd-Blue
Rusty James- Movie (acoustic)

The Khayembii Communiqué - "AM 1200"

Portraits Of Past- something less than intended

yeah.

that and,

Saetia's "Postlapsaria"/"Some Natures Catch No Plauges"
Circle Takes The Square's "In The Nervous Light Of Sunday"
The Spirit Of Versailles' "Two"/"Exorcism At Moon River"



there are alot more.

Sailboats - "Behind Trees"

enough said.
