Epitaph 

The Promise Ring was an indie rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Formed as a side-project by Davey von Bohlen (vocals, guitar), Jason Gnewikow (guitar), Scott Beschta (bass), and Daniel Didier (drums). The band members had previous experience in other bands such as Cap'n Jazz, None Left Standing, and Ceilishrine.
After the recording of their second album "Nothing Feels Good", Beschta left the band and was replaced by Tim Burton and later Scott Schoenbeck. The band eventually split after releasing their LP "Wood/Water" in 2002 with bassist Ryan Weber. Von Bohlen and Didier went on to collaborate again in Vermont and Maritime.
The Promise Ring's music is often associated with bands like Braid, Rainer Maria, The Anniversary, Texas Is The Reason, Knapsack, Sunny Day Real Estate, Cap'n Jazz, Hey Mercedes, The Jazz June, The Get Up Kids, The Casket Lottery, Joan Of Arc,
Christie Front Drive,Piebald,Jets To Brazil,Elliott,
Mineral,the Appleseed Cast,Penfold,and Mock Orange.

Their debut, 30 Degrees Everywhere: a powerful introduction that distilled the spirit and vigor of some of the members’ punk and hardcore backgrounds and spit-shined it with von Bohlen’s tastefully angsty melodicism. But 30 Degrees Everywhere is deceptively complex, masked by layers of driving guitars and buoyant rhythms. It’s also deceptively dark, as the singer’s heart-on-sleeve lyrics — tackling love, loss, regret and disappointment — and emotive delivery were hallmarks of The Promise Ring’s genre-leading sound. This raw emotion, along with an overall lack of polish, ultimately gives the album an endearing personality. You won’t find perfect performances here; rather, you’re getting real songs about real life played by real people in real time. Boiled down, 30 Degrees Everywhere is the foundation of a musical legacy, a lightning-in-a-bottle musical moment that demands listeners pay attention to its urgency and passion – in the end, what more could you ask for?
