I'm not going to start any collective eyerolling by trying to claim that Northstar are obscure—not by emo standards, anyway. As a band, they are rightly renowned for writing some of the sharpest, catchiest emo pop this side of Nothing Feels Good. They don't really fit the usual metrics of this blog, but they are just so good that I figured other collectors out there might want some FLAC files. For those of you content to stream the LPs, I have three other offerings.
The first is Broken Parachute, a collection of unreleased songs and acoustic versions. The second is a demo known as Early Demo #2. According to Wikipedia there were a bunch of other demos, but this is the only one that seems to be circulating online. It has the amazing "For Anyone But You," so be sure to check that out. I've also added a link for an instrumental version of Pollyanna.
