Alright, heres the post that might get me in trouble. Have mercy on me Numero, I just don't love the remastering job on "Giving Birth To Thunder". In my opinion, the amount of noise reduction they used completely neutered the fidelity of the songs. So heres a collection of my personal rips + 2 songs that weren't included on the Numero compilation. They are cleaned enough so that the noise isn't overwhelming but not so much that the drums and high/low frequencies are cut off. My delusions of grandeur tell me they sound a bit better.
Indian Summer was a hardcore band from Oakland, California. Indian Summer may just be the most influential emocore band ever, with their discography being highly sought after by collectors. Its a shame that they lost the masters to their songs, resulting in the generally lo-fi sound in the circulating digital copies.
Indian Summer was a band full of passion, emotion and experimentation. They wrote incredibly deep and personal lyrics for their songs and created a unique mystique for them through their 7" packaging and incredible stage presence live. Indian Summer was one of those bands that should have made it; it's good that they have had a resurgence in popularity lately as they completely deserve it.
Thats mostly what I have to say about this band. Theres plenty of info on them online if you are thirsty for more.
From Adam Nanaa about the halloween show track: That’s the first incarnation of “train is leaving”. I called that song tunnel digging machine.
Heres my unofficial discography, + 2 missing tracks from the Numero discography; ripped from the original 7"s and manually cleaned in Izotope.
Enjoy.
