Hailing from East Lansing, Michigan (like their emo fellows in the ivy crown), Ettison Clio were an emo pop band active in the early 2000s. Their music is primarily a mix of emo pop and pop punk, though there are some midwest emo influences that poke through every now and then. This is especially true on their second album, This Is For The Blue Collars, in a reverse of the trend most bands like this follow where it's the earlier releases that are more emo. That said, on their final release they change sound to mimic split-mates The Beautiful Mistake to the point you'd be hard pressed to notice the changeover if it weren't for the vocalists.
As of this writing, the band's old website is somehow still up and running, along with a merch store than is tempting if unlikely to yield anything but a Paypal dispute. Ettison Clio put out a demo prior to their first album, 2002's Fragile Simplistic, followed by This Is For The Blue Collars in 2004 and the split with The Beautiful Mistake in 2006. The only other track I've been able to scrape up is a demo version of "Chapter Nine" that the band posted to Soundclick, so I feel comfortable enough calling this a discography.
