I heart At Peace While Burning.

If you haven't heard of them, they were a christian hardcore band from the warsaw/winona lake area that existed during the mid/late 90's. Why am I starting a thread on them half a decade later? Because their music deserves to live on.

I still remember the stickers that said "Frontline: midwest hardcore" (frontline was their original name). Ah, nostalgia.

I'm not even sure how to describe how awesome this band was. They rocked like you can't believe. The music was so powerful and emotional.

They were pretty much the first local concert I ever went to (this was almost 7 years ago). They really had an impact on me when I was in my scene infancy. I could almost say that I would not be a musician today were it not for these boys.

They had one full length and were on some split ep's, and I believe they might have had a few other random songs. The actual album itself is hard to come by, though there are always people willing to burn you a copy. I've actually heard of multiple cases of peoples APWB cd's actually being stolen (it's that good).
-When my computer is back up, I plan on doing a full review of the album.

If you don't like hardcore, you probably won't like this; but if you do, it's some of the best (in my opinion) stuff out there.

download these songs
-these are on mp3.com, so download them before the site goes down.

Unfortunately, At Peace doesn't exist anymore. When their vocalist moved away, the remaining members formed a little band called Annabel Lee. They moved from hardcore to an indie-screamo thing. Basically, it too was awesome. If you can run across any of their stuff, do so, and hold on.

All the respect and love in the world for At Peace While Burning.

I hung out with at least one guy from that band and still have a frontline sticker on my old guitar case. Pretty good music, but do you remember Article 1 or Vaseline Sandwich from the same era?

Pliedes · 11-18-2003, 12:13 PM

I do not recall the bands you speak of. Were they from this area? (I really didn't travel very far during middle school)

Fruitacious B · 11-18-2003, 04:57 PM

At Peace While Burning, just the name is badass. Not much more to say, I wish I could've seen them live (damn prepubescent musical ignorance). Anywho, I believe that the also mentioned, Annabel Lee has also broken up as of late. I'm pretty sure that this is true, have any of you heard the same?

Pliedes · 11-18-2003, 05:36 PM

Annabel Lee broke up over six months ago when their drummer left the band. I actually had a good discussion about it with him. He was my waiter at Pizza Hut, so I spent the better part of his shift holdilng him up with questions about him bands and music.

StabMaster Arson · 11-18-2003, 05:55 PM

Most of the guys from VS were from here... Article 1 was from Plymouth but played just as much here as they did there.

the_butcher · 11-18-2003, 08:48 PM

Huh. I wondered why the fuck there was a thread about them recently. While my curiosity still isn't answered, it's still badass to see this band brought back up.

Musically, these guys helped to shape the hardcore scene in Warsaw. Back in the day before hardcore became trendy but while it was still a huge scene, APWB could be seen playing at almost every show. And yes, my cd of theirs did get stolen, which I'm not happy about. Fuck you if you're that person. However, I am proud to say I bought their very last shirt ever made and saw their second to last show ever, which occured at the oh so missed, Firemen's Building.

As stated before, I also heart At Peace While Burning.

Note: This is 1000, biatch.

butch, your post count now says "4". Apparently it reset at 1k for you.
I guess I'm out of the loop, why no more fireman's building shows?

Combat Chuck · 11-19-2003, 06:11 AM

Yeah, that made me a little scared too....no Fireman's building?

And...wow. At Peace While Burning. I didn't get the privilege to see these heralders of the hardcore scene, but damn, what I wouldn't give to.

I miss the Warsaw scene like you can't believe. It actually is a thriving scene....more so than Dekater.

Oh, by the way, fellow friends, I hope to have a recording of the best band to come out of the Mid-Illinois area, The Infinity Room, by Christmas. Then you will listen, and love. And by love, I mean, love.

In the aftermath of a Corporate Circus fiasco/show, the parks dept. decieded against letting people have any more shows there. At that show, a bunch of drunkards who kind of worked for the parks dept. decieded that they could only be there until 10, even though the contract said 12. Chaos ensued, lots of things broken, not a happy parks dept.

Mp3.com is closing down soon, ya'll really should download the songs while you still can...

download and enjoy, here

StabMaster Arson · 11-21-2003, 04:50 AM

word on the street is that annabel lee, although officially broken up, still play together and their ex?-drummer isn't interested in entertaining offers from other bands... they're not 'together' but they can't do anything with anyone else... sound familiar, BDH?

Niger Angelus · 11-21-2003, 10:46 AM

...now that was low.

Pliedes · 11-21-2003, 01:10 PM

Great analogy.

If the Annabel Lee boys are still jamming, I'm extremely interested in being in that crowd.

cough man · 11-26-2003, 11:39 PM

Annabel Lee one of the great tragedies of our time....very sad......at peace while burning is one of the bands that turned me from a stuck up preppy kid to a hardcore/emo/punk...whatever i am now......so i think this is a well deserved thread....may their music forever live on

Pliedes · 03-02-2004, 03:18 PM

Yo bitches, look what I hunted down...

...original copies of At Peace While Burning's full length and their split with Promise of Restoration.

I rule.

Pliedes · 03-02-2004, 03:18 PM

I suck.
