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.

“Nestled between the emotionally terse 30 Degrees Everywhere and the pop explosion of Nothing Feels Good, this singles and unreleased songs compilation sees the Promise Ring in a number of different musical phases. The earliest material on the record, including ‘Watertown Plank’ and the emo classic ‘A Picture Postcard,’ showcase the raw origins of the band and their early tendencies to couple meandering guitar notes with unbridled and distorted rock. ‘E. Texas Ave.,’ a fan favorite from the group’s split 7” with Texas Is the Reason, is also a noteworthy inclusion, not to mention the toughest song the band has ever recorded. Horse Latitudes is a must for the group’s fans, and is also a pretty good listen for anyone looking for solid emotional rock that is just as good at keeping quiet as it is at blasting out the speakers.”
