Highspire:
EJ Hagen (guitar), Alex White (vocals), Isaac Betesh (bass), Ron Snyder (guitar), Kevin Fassett (drums)
Founded in the year 2000.
Hometown: Philadelphia, Pa.
A small group of musicians, living in and around the Philadelphia area who are notoriously elusive, opting for the pursuit of writing and recording good music. Usually labeled as “shoegaze” or “dreampop”, Highspire has always been more interested in expanding these sounds and/or crossbreeding with other musical ideas to help create their own style of symphonic-rock/pop. Over their history, Highspire has managed to endure a seemingly endless stream of sackings, quittings, fights, bannings, evictions, thefts, arrests, hospitals, stolen vehicles, vehicle break-ins and break downs, mental break downs, odd jobs, no jobs, and massive record delays, but somehow has aways managed to remain standing and functional to a certain degree.
Update: EJ & Alex have joined the morning after girls.

This is really really good. I was lucky to find this. I agree with you Derail6782, a new album would be great. Though I'm lucky enough to have just found out about this so I'm not bored of this one yet.
