God damn his screams were so good during the era

Damn this gives me chills! I was 17 years old at the time and would have been absolutely blown away by this. I didn't get to see them live until a few years later when I was 20. They were already a much bigger deal by then of course, but still put on an awesome show.

Tom is the fucking goat

Sounds amazing

came out a few years after graduating college.. going through weak relationships, meeting horrible women.. losing the chances with the ones you really liked to rumors, lies, jealousy, etc. . making people out to be more than they are because you wanted them to be something they're not so badly, it hurts..

Taking on seven years the holy ghost had left alone Test my arms, kick like crazy I've been trying way too long only push the way off to fight you Now I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sure Getting off my chest the story ends I would find a way without... Tell him his eyes see too clear I would find a way without you Tell him his eyes see too clear That mistake was gold I know that without you is something that I could never do That was why staple the eyes and seven dates for me to sell machines and tear on Seven years you assured me that I'd be fine if I complied only push the way off to fight you (only push the way off to fight you) Now I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sure Getting off my chest the story ends I would find a way without... Tell him his eyes see too clear I would find a way without you Tell him his eyes see too clear That mistake was gold I know that without you is something that I could never do That was why staple the eyes and seven dates for me to sell machines and tear on Don't treat me, I'm to blame (sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sure) Don't treat me like I ever accused you

Man- memories…. Used to watch Boxcar at the Daily Grind…

Back when they had music videos. That whole alternative rock at the time so great.

Back when words had meaning and there were clear lines between truth and lies

Their greatest song

Wish I coulda been here but this was during the jersey heroin days

One of the greatest bands you never heard. I been trying to get people to listen since 2001 when I got a promo cd. Remember those? 😂

It’s 2024 and this still hits right..Still remember all the words like it was yesterday!

It's been 20 years..

Clone high

The bassist is good looking.

So after a lot of relistening, I have made an INTERPRETATION of the song. This is what I believe the meaning is, so to start off, I personally think it delves into themes of internal conflict and the search for solace in a world filled with superficiality. The opening lines, "I, I could use / A shot; your novacaine / My soul's a fuse / Blows away your name," suggest a desire for numbing or escaping from emotional pain. The mention of "novacaine" alludes to a temporary relief or anesthesia from the agony caused by a particular person or situation. The protagonist's soul feels volatile, as if ready to explode, erasing the memory of the source of their suffering. The chorus presents a dynamic between different personas: "Then you can be the remedy / And I can be the enemy / And he can go and live as nothing/Then you can be the wannabe / And I can be the remedy." Here, there's a sense of shifting roles and perspectives. The protagonist sees themselves as both the source of healing ("remedy") and the antagonist ("enemy"), saying that the person can heal him. Meanwhile, two other characters are shown, one being a person who can be his healer, but it seems he believes they're faking it/pretending or wanting to be it("The Wannabe"). Another character is depicted as insignificant ("live as nothing"), perhaps representing an outside force or a person that is getting in the way. The lines "Say this world is not so shallow / When you can't beg, steal, or borrow / Save your breath, your soul is hollow / And it's all too much to swallow" express disillusionment with the superficiality of the world. The inability to find genuine connection or fulfillment leads to a feeling of emptiness ("your soul is hollow") that is overwhelming ("it's all too much to swallow"). The repeated refrain of "The remedy" serves as a mantra, a reminder of the protagonist's search for resolution and relief from their inner turmoil. Overall, I believe the song reflects on the complexities of human relationships, the struggle for authenticity in a shallow world, and the longing for healing amidst inner conflict.

The fall of Troy is NOT screamo 😭

Still hits as hard as 2001. 🤘

15­:30

2004 is crazy. Its 2024 this still slaps

seattlantis should have been in doppelganger tbh

That drum riff at 3:01 minutes tho 👨‍🍳👌💋 If these band members are out there, just know, we still love this song 'til this day.

Damn no one is doing Josh’s vocal parts. Damn shame they broke up touring with Fall of Troy and Chidios they were about to blow up on equal vision.

Whoever mixed this track did an amazing job.

Amazing. 20 years later and rockin!

Sounds like this could have come out yesterday. Visionaries.

L.S. Dunes

Suicidal playing during setup hits the nostalgia nerve. How Will I Laugh Tomorrow is the tape my dad & I always bumped in that shit box of an 89 Camry we drove around down town Montreal in. Cheers.

"chiodos is next"... lol

God I wish stuff like this still happened in the area. I miss not having to head out to NY for every show.

an iconic post-hardcore performance

Not gonna lie, i don't remember this song but the early 00s was such a phenomenal moment for alternative rock 😊❤🎉!!!

First time I found the music video

Absolute gold. Strung out with Bigwig. I saw Bigwig in my hometown of St Augustine, FL around 1998 and been a huge fan since. Thanks for posting this!

Leon just make his emo band after Racoon city incident

I was 2 years too old to appreciate and understand this song, so I could only scorn those who did.

Late 90’s-early 2000’s was a different scene. Catching 5 bands for $7 at a firehall or elks lodge with barely a stage was normal. I miss that.

Awesome videos you have! Did you ever film Void Control in NJ...time frame 2006-ish or so

This album was amazing, but it was this song and video that lead me to it. Definitely a trip back in time to a younger headspace.

This song has been on repeat for the last fucking week lmao

hell yes!!!

Check out this story , at 0:04 you see my good buddy helping put amps on stage. Prior to show the guitarist needed string so my boys brought him to guitar center, my buddy there took a guitar down and plugged it in and started ripping all the fall of troy sht and from that point on the singer guitar player was acting like a jerko ff. lol

2023 and this track still hits as it did in the late 90's.

This came out a month before I turned 14.... brings me back to the day I sat in my room with headphones on, no friends, just a loner listening to music and dealing with emotions. Thought I'd share my memories, I enjoyed reading the memories of others. Thank you for sharing in the comments everyone! This song has always played in my head from time to time throughout the years. I still feel like I'm stuck in my teen years, just older and wiser. I really miss those days though

The old WB channel WB-17 Philly music

Vocals need to be louder in the mix. They’re kind of buried under the guitars and drums

In 2002 I bought this album on CD in Times Square, New York City and it changed my life… totally fit the mood post 9/11 as well. I was 16. Still listening in 2023.

Punk legends man. If you had a chance to see them in this form, consider yourself lucky. I’m seeing them in October and I’m pumped, but they aren’t this great anymore
