Recess Theory were a band from Florida, active for a couple years in the late 90s, with their first release coming in 1998 and their last in '99. They made it into the new millennium in a sense, changing their name to Legends of Rodeo and leaving the emo genre behind thereafter. I don't have much more information than that about them, as there are no working archives of their websites. Their sound was midwest emo combined with emo pop, similar to what Braid was doing at the same time, though I would say Recess Theory leaned heavier on the midwest emo side of things than Braid ever did, taking a lot from Mineral and at times, especially on their split release, reminding me of Sunday's Best.
Their first release was a split with Reflector in 1998. 1999 saw their only two other releases, a split CD with Further Seems Forever, from the 27th state, and their only album release, they would walk into the picture. I don't know if the band considered it an EP or a full LP and have seen conflicting information. There is also a compilation track, but while it has a slightly different title than its counterpart on the album, it's the same recording.
