SUMMERS full length-$5
Summers is our first full length and release and was recorded during the raddest summer of 2007. It has the first 10 songs we ever wrote and is a lot of riffy and fun punk. We wish this picture was of sweet vinyl, but they're just CDs. sorry!

   About We Were Skeletons

The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the "B-Ballnacht". Thousands upon thousands of the world's greatest ballers were massacred in a swath of violence and sports bigotry as the game was outlawed worldwide. The reason: the Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order. Among the few ballers and fans that survived the basketball genocide were WE WERE SKELETONS, the men capable of performing the "Verboten Jam"...

Flash forward 12 years to the post-cyberpocalyptic ruins of Neo New York, 2053. A Chaos Dunk rocks the island of Manhattan, killing 15 million. When the finger is put on the aging WE WERE SKELETONS, they must evade the capture of the B-Ball Removal Department, led by former friend and baller Michael Jordan, and disappear into the dangerous underground of the post-cyberpocalypse to clear their name and find out the mysterious truth behind the Chaos Dunk. Joined by allies along the way, including the bassist's son Hoopz, WE WERE SKELETONS must face the dangers of a life he thought he gave up a long time ago and discover the secrets behind the terrorist organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S.

Things people have said about WWS:
"We Were Skeletons are a hardcore punk/screamo band from Lancaster, PA. There is something so incredibly refreshing when listening to the band’s debut album, Summers. Ranging in age from 17-19 years old, there is youthful exuberance that pours out from the band’s songs. Summers sounds completely pure. It is as if the boys have just coasted through the last five years and refused influence from all the shit that has pervaded this genre. Touching on bands like Hot Cross, Orchid and Off Minor, We Were Skeletons’ sound harkens back to the golden age where substance triumphed over style and not vice versa. We Were Skeletons show off incredible dynamics as they embrace experimentation and aggression. Summers is a breath of fresh air that just might knock you on your ass if you aren’t prepared."

-www.soundaslanguage.com

"Je vous présente We Were Skeletons, un groupe de screamo de Pennsylvanie (US). C'est influencé par Off Minor, the Kidcrash, City of Caterpillar et pleins d'autres bons groupes. Et c'est bien cool."

-"thiob" on Emo France forum

:/
kelsey q!





Jun 24 2008 5:28 PM

dear we were skeletons,
i like you alot, alot more than i even like ice cream, which i had for breakfast. i probably like you alot better than whoever commented before me, because he kind of seems like a diq, but that doesn't matter, because you're playing in lancaster on thursday. by the way, raf, do you speak spanish?
sincerely, kelsey williams
Fucking Dunce!
