Maudlin


This album was a random find on Ebay, and pretty much all I know about the band is they were from the San Diego punk scene and they played a show with Henry Rollins once. Even their old website on the Wayback Machine doesn't shed a whole lot of light. The seller labeled the album as "emocore indie rock," and that's actually a fair assessment. There's a little bit of everything packed into the six songs, from early-90s inspired emo and emocore to screamo to heavy-chord emo pop that wouldn't sound out of place on a Hot Rod Circuit album. Assuming this was their first release, it sounds like a band experimenting with all their influences at once. I've been unable to find any hint that this 2002 EP was followed by others.
