The Band Began Releasing Material On Split 7" Records With Other Local Outfits Secular Theme And Giants Chair. Relying On A Stripped-Down Sound Punctuated By Out-Of-Tune Noisy Guitars And A ‘quiet' Then ‘loud' Alternation The Foursome Then Put Out Two Full-Length Albums Boys Life In 1995 And The Out-Of-Print Classic Departures And Landfalls In 1996. Tagged Emo-Core By Critics And Kids Alike The Band Composed Of Brandon Butler Vocals/guitar John Anderson Drums John Rejba Bass And Joe Winkle Guitar Often Began Their Songs With A Simple Bass Line And Then Turned Up The Nobs And Ditched The Drum Brushes Building Up To Epic Crescendos With Screaming Distortion And Energy -- All In A Very Controlled Manner. Adding Samples Of Crickets Chirping Radio Static And The Far-Off Wail Of Train Whistles Gave The Band A Decidedly Midwestern/Americana Feel Without Ever Coming Off As Folk Or Country. Boys Life Called It Quits Sometime In 1997 But Members Went On To Form The Short-Lived Farewell Bend Lullaby For The Working Class And Other Projects.
