Empathy I Need 12" on RED LTD of 100 copies.
This is a great CTW collectible. NEW never played pulled out of my closet.
For those of you don't know this band was the Detroit hardcore band from the 93/94 era and remains influential to this day. Falling Forward, Split Lip, Shoulder, Endpoint later material, Lifetime, Samiam were all influences as well as peers in many ways. This is true 90s midwestern hardcore. Pre Elliot, By The Grace of God, Thoughts of Ionesco.
This record is hard to find as it is because people do not want to part with it. We were there when it all was going down in the 90s we were kids with dreams and we loved sincere melodic hardcore. Those were the best days of my life.
My dear friends I cherish all the time we had together traveling and going to shows and doing these documents.
1. Empathy was an emo band from Royal Oak, Michigan that was an important part of the midwest emo movement, in the mid 90s. They formed in the summer of 1993, initially as a trio with Kevin on guitar, Nathan Miller on bass and Graham Pawluk on drums. In August of 1993 Jay Palumbo joined on vocals and in October Mike came on second guitar. On January 22nd, 1994 this line-up recorded four songs at Sound Camp Studio, three of which were used for their first 7” “…Of Innocence” on Element Records in May 1994. Kevin quit the band, but was replaced by Drew Cramer.
In June of 1994, they recorded all the material which would be used for their album “Under the Lost Smile” at Woodshed Studio, but could not settle a record deal until much later in the year when they were approached by friend Mike Warden of Conquer the World Records. The album was re-mixed in December of 1994 and released on CD and 12” LP in early 1995. Later that year they were paired with another midwest emo band that was making its mark, Enkidle. “Vinyl for Fools” was released on 7” in mid 1995, and would later on be repressed on CD by Initial Records.
In 1996, the band formed their own record label, Cascade Records, and would release albums by Thoughts of Ionesco, 7000 Dying Rats, Chelsea’s Gone Under as well as co-release their last EP “I Need” with Conquer the World on CD and 12”. The band broke up very shortly after this.
Some people have asked about record gradings. If you want me to look specifically and describe it for you thats fine but this rule should be in effect generally.. I usually never played my records I collected them, or I played them once and taped them then stored them. Find me on Facebook as Mike CTW if you have any questions or want conversation. Keep in mind I no longer collect records and I am trying to stay alive here so please bid on these records I need the support more than ever. Thanks so much.
