about

The 1990s were an important time for rock music, specifically emo and post-hardcore. Emo saw an explosion of activity during the decade with bands that would help fundamentally change the scene of their surrounding genres with bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate and Mineral. At the same time, the ever-growing post-hardcore genre was building in power thanks to bands like Fugazi and Unwound. Many bands were able to combine the two, forming what's often been called second-wave emo.

One of the bands who were able to do this, but were unfortunately buried by their obscurity, was a band from Indianapolis named Endive. While only being together from 1994 to 1996, the band was able to put out quite a sizeable discography.

The band's time together started in 1994 with a demo tape titled "en dive." In 1995, the band released a promo tape featuring the songs from their demo and three new songs. The tape was sent to friends and family who helped them in some way. In 1996, State Fanzine released a split between Endive and fellow Indiana punk band Ice Nine. The same year, the band released a self-titled single on Izod Records featuring the songs "Under Lies" and "Christening Day". After the single's release, the band recorded a final three-song demo tape colloquially nicknamed the "Spring Demo" in 1996 before disbanding that same year.

While it's not exactly known why the band broke up, they left behind a mountain of music, unknown to most outside their scene and area. That would change thanks to the advent of the internet in the early to mid-2000s. Thanks to the internet, the music hidden by way of local scenes would be shown off and appreciated, even if the band was long gone before they could receive it. Endive was a band that deserved that and more for how amazing they are. Let's hope this does them justice.

released March 21, 2024

Endive was Stacy Novak, Anthony Reitz, Dean Maglinte, Jason Mager, and Jason Beehler.

SWTLO was originally released on January 27, 2024, as TMU-24.

1-5 are from the demo, 7 is from a promo tape, 8-9 are from their self-titled 7", 9 is from the split with Ice Nine, 14 comes from the compilation "A Benefit Compilation Brought To You By Mayfly", 15-17 were from the band's Spring Demo, 18 was recorded live sometime in 1996, and 6 and 11-13 come from the Discography 2 bootleg.

This album is a free download because I care more about the band's music being able to reach more ears through this bootleg than ever than making money off it.

In the previous release, I neglected to thank the members of the Emo Archive discord server, who help find and archive obscure and hard-to-find emo music. The hard work the members, specficially "nacuot", put in to archive their demos and the promo tape is very admirable and should be appreciated.
I also failed to thank "great person dot com", who originally posted the Discography 2 bootleg, which is where some of these songs come from.
Let's hope that is fixed here.

Thank you.
