Erevan were a French midwest emo band active in the early 2000s. Their sound is focused on midwest emo but incorporates elements from other emo strains of the 90s, with harder passages and some screaming. Don't let the date on the records fool you—this is real 90s-style midwest emo, delivered a little late by the French emo scene, which is mostly known for its screamo bands. It's difficult to know much more about Erevan because I can't read French, so if anyone who can looks over these scans and finds something interesting, let me know.
Erevan put out a demo tape in 2000, followed a second demo CDr in 2001 and their first and only LP, Memorial, in 2003. I haven't heard the CDr, but the demo cassette showcases a band pulling as much from first wave emo as from second wave midwest emo, even opening, Indian Summer-style, with an old vinyl recording. Memorial would flip the influences around to narrow in on the midwest sound. Sadly, the LP was their last release.
