Here's a emo supergroup recording of sorts, featuring drummer Gabe Wiley and bassist Matt Breedlove (Pop Unknown), guitarist Scott McCarver (Mineral), and vocalist Rory Phillips (The Impossibles). While only an EP, this 1998 recording covers a LP's worth of ground variety-wise. "66,000 Miles An Hour" kicks things off with an ironically fast tempo, followed by the lush and slow "October, November, Ohio." "You're My Lion Killer," is more like the classic emo sound, even though it rumbles along at a mid-tempo pace. The musical quality here is exceptional. Lyrically, I like their poetry, but am only moved slightly.

JonesStarting the album off with a child-like xylophone, one gets the idea that this album is not going to be a pick me upper. As much indie rock as it is pop, Imbroco is forging a melodic path that transcends musical categories. Made up of current and or ex-members of huge indie favorites such as, Pop Unknown, The Impossibles, Mineral, and The Stereo this all star line up rivals the 2000 Los Angeles…Similar sounding releases
