Straylight Run - Internet Demos


Straylight Run
Internet Demos
2003

1. Existentialism on Prom Night
2. It's Everybody's Fault But Mine
3. It's For the Best
4. Mistakes We Knew We Were Making
5. The Tension and the Terror
6. A Slow Descent

Formed by ex-Taking Back Sunday members John Nolan and Shaun Cooper after their departure from the band after the debut Tell All Your Friends. With Nolan's sister Michelle and drummer Will Noon, the foursome released several demos before coming out with their first LP. These internet demos were released free on their website in 2003. Five of the songs on it appeared on that album, with the exception of 'It's Everybody's Fault But Mine'.

I like the band due to Nolan, whose departure from Taking Back Sunday was evident in the drop of quality. Not to say that Taking Back Sunday was a great band or anything, but I do feel as if the first album one of the better ones of it's kind. Straylight Run doesn't exactly change indie rock, but they are a talented band nonetheless.
