This is a prime example of a band that never reached the mainstream or sold a lot of records while they were active but over time have managed to have an outsize influence on other musicians and the direction of an entire genre of music just by being so goddamned good and standing the test of time with their music alone and none of the marketing or hype.
Every once in a while a band comes along and changes all your preconceived notions of what's possible when it comes to composing. This band is a god damn miracle
Agree big-time; after decades of searching I've come across 3 bands for definite and 3 damn close in the last 6 months alone, this group is one of the definites !
I had this on vinyl when I lived with my girlfriend in Idaho. We broke up. She left my stuff on the porch. This record wasn't in it. She stole it, along with all my Jawbreaker records. I don't mind. As far as I'm concerned she deserves it for what I put her through.
ALWAYS have three copies of the most important records! It is like the Gay friend said in Sex and the City in response to why he had three therapists : "One for when I wanna be pampered another when I want tough love and the third for when I just wanna look at a beautiful man!" - The same way, three copies. One for yourself! One for the girl you are sleeping with and one for the bitch who slept with everyone except YOU !
Thanks for the upload Travis!!!!! Fantastic album!!!!! anyone has heard of Aina? is a band from Bcn. They have an album called Sevens that is a masterpiece. The singer, Artur, then created another band called Nueva Vulcano. My favorite album they did is called Juego entrópico. Highly recommended!!!
Dyed On 8 & Long Out. Can someone explain the "clicking". Is that intentional? Sorry....I'm female, just became a big fan of the band and don't know much except what I got to listen to in the late 80's & early 90's....Squirrel Bait/ The Nils/Slint.
David Micheal Williams I wouldn't say "ripped off", rather influenced. Both bands were friends back then, even when Jimmy was still playing punk rock. They did a split 7" together, and Eric Richter did backups on either "World Is Static" or "Digits" on the Static Prevails album. Can't remember. Dozens of bands have tried to emulate CFD to some extent, nearly all have failed in doing so.
it was a joke dude!!...i heard a funny story about jew not being forth coming with cfd about the speed they were playing at the time because they thought they wouldn't want them supporting...i find it weird how huge jimmy eat's became and christie front drive didn't
David Micheal Williams Ha! Sorry, I'm quite used to having to defend that point. If CFD had stuck around, who knows? Or maybe if the '94 record were recorded in a better studio, or even released on a different label? But, even with Static Prevails and Clarity being on a major, both went largely unappreciated for years.
David Micheal Williams I know CFD still play sporadic shows, but if it's ONE band from back then that needs to really get in on this reunion tour/album stuff, it's Christie Front Drive.

you cant put this band into words...

I feel this so deeply. I didn't get back certain clothes I loved that she knew I loved along with numerous others

Flawless band
Forgot all about them, thanks so much for bringing them back into my life!
Melodien zum niederknien
ADORE them!
Amazing time for indie/emo music. I still thing 1998 was the apex of music in my life.
This is indeed a great band. I found this upload because it occurred to me how long it had been since hearing it last. You may enjoy Brighter Arrows.
Is Brighter Arrows close to or better than this? If so, I'll definitely give them a try
this was my first album i bought from rhino records still my favorite slab of wax
Over on Westwood ? Rip

What relevance does your gender have whatsoever to anything you asked?
does anyone know the lyrics to "Long Out"? I can't find them anywhere
děkuji
lyrics to pipe, please?
zero dislikes for a reason
What is supposed to be the thing that appear on the artwork? a potentiometer?
Is the album cover a car missing a front headlight?
