alt. rock... yeah, I said it. Dischord. Obscure early-to-mid 90's emo-ish bands and unnoticed mainstream failures lost in the wake of the 'grunge' explosion. And Dio. Plenty of Dio.
We are in no RUSH to be anything more then what we are now: four dudes playing catchy tunes. We like to think we are alt-rock for the WORKING MAN. We strive to be more then a FLY BY NIGHT band; instead writing songs CLOSER TO THE HEART . Mistletoe stand firm in the quest to summon THE SPIRIT OF RADIO that was collage alternative radio of the late 80's-90's. While some bands crave the LIMELIGHT Mistletoe avoid fashion and choose FREEWILL when writing songs . With Mistletoes first demo they smashed SUBDIVISIONS and wrote songs that were on the heavy and not so heavy side. The band hopes that TIME STANDS STILL for the audience and they just listen, have fun, dance, maybe even sing along and forget about what ever is bothering them. This is a DISTANT EARLY WARNING when we play in your town be ready to rock. We might even drive a RED BARCHETTA to get there....
WE MADE THIS....

This is the final recorded output of Seattle's 3-piece wrecking unit known as Playing Enemy. Formed from the ashes of Nineironspitfire and Kiss It Goodbye, Playing Enemy was highly active, releasing 2 full lengths and a bevy of EPs and seven inches before recording their swan song EP. 5 songs of distorted, warped misanthropic rage, sharp and cutting as ever. Packaged in a neat arigato pack with original art by frontman Demian Johnson. This is a one-time pressing of these final songs. Get it while you can.
Thanks again guys. I love all of you, especially Bob when he actually talks. I'll be seeing you around Syracuse soonish. Also the new songs rule, I'm excited to hear more of them.
