Lawrence KS, United States (1997 – 2004)

The Anniversary was an indie rock band formed in 1997 in Lawrence, Kansas. The band released two full length albums: “Your Majesty and “Designing a Nervous Breakdown” as well as a number of splits. Originally a group of high school friends, Matthew Pryor of The Get Up Kids approached them about recording an album. Designing a Nervous Breakdown was the result. The band broke up on February 6, 2004 despite having a number of songs ready for a third album. Three of the members joined together to form the band The Only Children, taking a few of the completed songs along with them. Justin Roelofs went off to release a self-titled album under the name White Flight and Adrianne Verhoeven released the album “Smoke Rings” under the name Dri.

    Designing A Nervous Breakdown is their best, they lost everything that made them 'emo' and good with Your Majesty [2] You couldn't imagine how upset I was when Your Majesty came out cause I was so hyped on Designed and I then I play YM and I was like "what the fuck!? Are you fucking kidding me!" I got over it after a few years and it's aight but shit I was actually UPSET when that album came out, I guess I feel the same way today about Zoo by Ceremony, god that album sucks.

    Does anyone else see Designing A Nervous Breakdown as a concept album? I don't think they intended it to be and the lyrics probably don't match up that well between the songs, but I can't help but listen to it like all the songs are about the same subject.
