Angels in the Architecture were from Buffalo, New York. They played a very polished version of midwest emo, heavier on the chords and choruses and closer to emo pop. In some ways they sound like an alternate universe Christie Front Drive trying to go mainstream, but in most ways they sound like a late-90s emo pop band leaning towards alt rock. There's a lot of emphasis on big hooks here, especially in songs like album opener "blue line," which is either their best song or their second best behind "team no radio."
Their discography consists of a 1997 EP, one ten, which is their most classically midwest emo work, and an LP in 2000 which is the more catchy, emo pop work. In between they released a split with Amp 176 and contributed a track to the Pocket Bomb compilation.
