Crashcart were an emo pop band formed in 1999 and active to around 2003 or so. I'm not sure where they were from, but both of the record labels they were on were based in California, so that might be their home turf. Their sound is 90s-style emo pop, or what is sometimes called 'emotive pop punk' or 'emo punk,' distinct from the high-production sheen of 2000s emo pop. Crashcart were holdouts in that sense, releasing their last album in 2003 but completely ducking the trends of the time. This is emo pop with the occasional bit of midwest emo flair, similar to bands like The Get Up Kids or Notaword.
The band's first release was november for beginners in 2000, though it appears they were self-releasing the album a year earlier in 1999 before the label release. It's a rougher album that lacks the catchier qualities of the second. In 2001, Crashcart put out a self-titled EP. Two years later, they ended their career with the anthemic Sleepers Awake.
