Boston emo/post-hardcore vets Garrison formed in 1998 and lasted for six years before breaking up in 2004, and they were one of the most underrated bands of the era. Their 1999 debut EP The Bend Before The Break (released on Revelation Records) pulled from the yearning melodies of second wave emo, the impassioned shrieks of screamo, and the knotty guitars of early '90s post-hardcore, and it packaged it in a way that hinted at the emo boom that was just around the corner.
Nearly 23 years later, Iodine Recordings is now giving that classic EP a fully remastered vinyl release, expanded to include rare and previously unreleased material from throughout their career, including their debut single "24" and their 2001 split with UK band Hundred Reasons. It also features all new artwork by Dan McCarthy.
