Autumn Lee were a band who were, according to Louisville Hardcore, "at least mostly" from Shelbyville, KY. They were active for an unknown segment of the late 90s, and played jangly, indie rock-inspired emo pop. The first song off their self-titled EP is called "Poppy Song," which is appropriate. The rest of the EP is a bit more sedate.
If you look only at Discogs, the band's discography is very simple, consisting of a self-titled EP in 1998 and three comp tracks, two of which are the same song. However, this Soundcloud page complicates things tremendously. There are two Autumn Lee releases on that page: one called 8 Track Recording which was either literally recorded on an 8-track or is missing a song, since there are seven songs total, and one with six tracks purporting to be Autumn Lee / Arise Records Release.
This is not true. I have the Arise Records EP in hand and there are only five tracks on it. Furthermore, only four of the six songs are actually on the physical EP, and three of them are incorrectly titled. The other two tracks aren't on the album at all. This motley assortment of music raises all kind of questions. Most of the tracks from 8 Track are attributed to "Final EP" while the rest are named; is this an actual EP that saw release? Are the named songs not part of it? Where are the non-album tracks attributed to the S/T EP from? I had originally thought that one of the tracks, "More," was put on a compilation, hinting that perhaps others from the collection were as well, but this turned out to be only half-right: Upon tracking down the compilation, I discovered it's a completely different version of the song. This makes me think that perhaps the version of "The Poppy Song" from another compilation is also different, but I haven't been able to find this one yet.
In short, I can't attribute the majority of the band's discography to any particular release, nor say with any confidence that this is all of it.
thanks!
