Exclamation

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.
