Burning bright for a brief period between 1996 and 1998, Ribbon Fix were a second wave emo band who straddled the sonic line between emo pop and midwest emo, similar to bands like Friends Unseen or Rainer Maria. The band shared members with other legendary emo bands like Shroomunion, The Shivering, and Amber Inn, and bassist\vocalist Andi Camp continues to fly the emo flag today in projects Temper & Hold and The Holdout.
The band's first release was a collection of material written prior to the departure of Brian Gathy, released in 1997. However, it is not a compilation, instead being the band's first EP. Later that same year the band would release their first LP, some Saturday this has been, complete with some awesome custom packaging. The band's second album, released in 1998, is called camp fire dares the sun and while its packaging is not quite as elaborate as the first's, it's still above and beyond the typical. Later in 1998, the band would put out its final release, straight, no chaser, which for whatever reason is a cover EP of drinking songs. The band has only one compilation track that I know of, on the legendary Atmosphere Only Gets You So Far.
Thank you!
