Some Still Believe - S/T

My apologies for the lack of blog posts lately, I have been very busy with school and I honestly just haven’t had time for the blog. Not to worry though… I have A LOT of stuff that I have been getting ready to post, and I plan on getting back to business this week. Without further due…

Some Still Believe formed in Redding sometime in 2000, they quickly released a 6-song demo and played a handful of shows only to prematurely break up later that year. The band ultimately reformed sometime in early 2001 and decided to take things a little “more seriously” quickly releasing their second (10-song) demo. By now, SSB was starting to play all over the west coast and with the help of the 2001 demo; they gained the interest of [then] newly formed Martyr Records. The label quickly got in touch about putting out the first Some Still Believe 7” (specifically requesting that several of the 2001 demo songs be re-recorded for the EP). SSB recorded this record sometime in 2001 at Pus Cavern Studios in Sacramento, with Mikey Hood apparently helping out with production. I believe the line-up for this recording was: Matt, Duane, Ross, Nate and Mike.

This 8-song EP was eventually (I remember thinking that it was taking forever to come out) released through Martyr Records sometime in late 2001/early 2002 but by then, band members had already begun to relocate from Redding to San Francisco and started to focus more heavily on their other bands (namely Allegiance). Some Still Believe would unfortunately break up in the summer of 2002. Members of SSB would eventually go on to play in bands like: Set It Straight, Allegiance, Right On, Set Your Goals and more. Big thanks to Duane, who was awesome enough to hook me up with an excellent sounding copy of this EP (this is cd quality straight from the band, not some shitty sounding vinyl rip). I would definitely recommend this EP to fans of Floorpunch and Ten Yard Fight. Be on the lookout for more Some Still Believe related posts, as I plan on uploading everything they ever recorded eventually…
