the fountain pen conspiracy

ok one more whilst we're here.


i have absolutely no idea who this band is or why i have it. it's not even on discogs. it's from 1996, the address is sioux falls south dakota. people in the band are joseph theon, rebecca hanten, micheal meyer and brian bieber, so they can all google themselves now and find this.



the music is pretty typical mid 90s screamy emo. you got the basic, harsh, trebly recording, and multiple people going "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIII" over fast, sorta melodic but messy hardcore. i always preferred this sort of screamo to what happened to it in the mid to late 2000s when it got all polished and post rock.

lyrics are the typical emo mix of personal and political. there's a song about homelessness and one about capitalism, and one i think is about sexual assault.
