Most Upsetting DTR Band Breakup

[InDireNeedSF]

Which one of these Drive-Thru Records bands that broke up is your favorite and made you the most upset when they departed...

[Smog01]

Finch out of these, but I was most upset when Something Corporate went on hiatus

[i am]

If you would've asked me a few weeks ago, I would've said HIPV, but now it's definitely TEN. :o(

[notoaststereo]

the movielife.... then the early novemeber in a close second.

[IATA4224]

the Movielife

[CountMeOut923]

oh jesus. the movielife obviously.

[loganmmm]

I was pretty hysterical with the departure of The Movielife, but when The Early November announced their hiatus, I was uncontrollable. So, definitely TEN.

[kbauer]

TEN better take this poll by like 100 votes.

[IATA4224]

I don't see they Hype in The Early November... I just don't get them...

[halifaxonfire]

the early november.

[Poochemist]

None, all the bands had a pretty good run so im not all too bothered. I guess if forced to choose id say TEN or Finch because they had the most potential to write something better than they already had by their breakup.

Agreed. I wasn't too bothered to hear about these breakups, but it would have been interesting to hear how Finch followed up their latest album.

[TBSowns524]

The Early November's break up is a shame, but I'm pretty sure Allister still tours

[MIKEY_HORROR]

The Early November followed by Finch...

[omgjames]

probably early november just because it happened so recently. april 15th, final early november headlining show ever (minus bamboozle or something) and im fucking going.

[noodledancer]

Finch out of these, but I was most upset when Something Corporate went on hiatus
waiting for new soco has been tough. i actually teared up during their "reunion" at bamboozle left.

If you would've asked me a few weeks ago, I would've said HIPV, but now it's definitely TEN. :o(
ditto. they both seemed to come when i was feeling really psyched about them.

[lessthanjoe]

movielife and homegrown...and allister doesnt tour anymore

[brandnizzle2419]

the early november split still hurts, and 40 hour train is probably one of the most dissapointing cds ive ever bought, so early november hands down. but id rather have movielife than nightmare of you.

[aloneatlastnj]

the movielife.

[Branevember31]

the early November then something corporate

[thewk]

The Movielife was pretty upsetting to me. I don't listen to any of these bands anymore, though. Movielife is the exception.

[sasalukac]

I don't see they Hype in The Early November... I just don't get them...

same

[JustAnotherPoet]

the early november...i was close to tears

[duhpunk]

i miss HIPV

[fueledbyiz]

the early november.

i'm still pissed they had to cancel the portland show (even though i still wouldn't have been able to go... but whatever.)

[InDireNeedSF]

the early november split still hurts, and 40 hour train is probably one of the most dissapointing cds ive ever bought, so early november hands down. but id rather have movielife than nightmare of you.

are you kidding me??? 40 Hour Train was such a great CD, through and through... I'm veryyy upset I never got to see them live, however, I am glad that there's an I Am The Avalanche because I've seen them so many god damn times, and every time they put on the most kickass show... still miss the movielife tho

[Flipyeah Andrea]

Hipv for sure, they were my favorite band.
Then TEN, I too was pissed when they canceled the Portland date of their last tour ever.
After that, I cant honestly I care.

[avengedtbs]

the movielife followed by ten

[tm decomposer]

Allister

[atticus1492]

Finch, I guess.

[Brokenhill]

Finch..."What it is to Burn" was amazing.

Too bad "Say Hello to Sunshine" was a flop.

[CorporateFish]

TEN, followed by The Movielife.

[nerdvglc]

TEN...i was utterly inconsolable for a week and a half after i saw their last dallas show (it was the same day they announced their breaku

[Asb1019]

the early november by far... im still crying over it.

[makeasound]

Allister, they were one of my favorite bands.

[tonighttonight0]

The Early November

[falloutboy.]

hipv... rip

[smelltheglove]

what a cool poll, good idea. For me it was Allister. why? because I thought they had just hit their stride and released one of the best pop punk albums ever in 'before the blackout'. to me, that album is exactly what straightforward pop punk should be, catchy, simple, fun, solid lyrics and slightly more mature than 'last stop suburbia'. great live too.

movielife comes close, but I was lucky enough to catch them on what was their 'farewell' tour although noone knew it was the end for them at the time. I believe I saw them in May 2003 at their Pittsburgh show and then they broke up about a month later, only about 5 shows later. for me I felt like I had closure, I had just seen them live. i was still bummed though.

Finch didn't bother me because I thought 'say hello to sunshine' was bullshit. just a half assed attempt at glassjaw mixed with the blood brothers, dillenger escape plan and some faith no more. their first album seemed like such a landmark in the 'emocore' genre but the second took such a long ass time (3 years) for them to put out and it was a letdown. now, listening to their first album, it wasnt even that great, it was just pretty new for 2002.

who cares about the benjamines?

fuck the early november. emo kid crybaby music. 'ever so sweet you baked it in cakes for me'??? you kids are fuckin dorks. the fact that that many of you were upset by their breakup just shows how lame punk/emo kids have become over the past 4 or 5 years.

[smelltheglove]

Homegrown wasn't even that good to begin with. and HIPV had a lot of promise, but the fact that they only had 1 album and were only around a couple years made theri breakup not as bad.

[trainwreck89]

i voted for TEN since theyre one of my all time faves but i think the HIPV breakup was a little more devastating seeing how they havent even released their second lp yet

[waltz_alone]

it bums me out a bit that the movielife isn't drastically in the lead

so fucking good.
-k.

[waltz_alone]

who cares about the benjamines?


it's all about the benjamins baby

:: does puff daddy dance circa 1997 ::

-k.

[loveisdead]

The Early November. And fuck whoever is bad mouthing them. Ace Enders is an incredible musical talent. Find me the other artist who released as many songs as he did, and made almost all of them very good, in the same time period.

[CradlingxHatred]

Finch

[ByelineCole]

apparently everyone in here is too young to remember the benjamins.

[halifaxonfire]

i remember them. they just weren't particularly good. :shrug:

[TotallyMandy]

Um, where is Fenix TX in this poll?
I almost cried in the middle of class when I found out they broke up. I know they're 'back together' but they still broke up for a few years.

[saving jonathan]

TEN. no question.
i wansn't into movielife until recently. so def TEN.
i do miss HIPV and Home Grown though.

[spike22988]

benjamins? why?

[Bobcat46308]

finch

[mr chainsaw]

Allister is so amazing...such good dudes...i am gonna try to make it to chicago for their last show.

[miltownrob]

anyone who doesn't put the benjamins is fucking stupid

[GetUpNotGhetto]

in middle school i would have said the movielife...but its so long ago i learned to accept it
TEN was most recent and a huge deal for me so i went with them even though these are all the DTR classics

[GetUpNotGhetto]

apparently everyone in here is too young to remember the benjamins.

i knew them as well...just never liked them

[M.C COB]

HIPV becuase I had a lot of personal moments with them.

[Tmovielife16]

The Movielife!!!

[3GunGaz]

There's no contest.. The Movielife... still praying for a reunion.

[InDireNeedSF]

The Early November. And fuck whoever is bad mouthing them. Ace Enders is an incredible musical talent. Find me the other artist who released as many songs as he did, and made almost all of them very good, in the same time period.

There would be hundreds if not thousands

This is true, I mean don't get me wrong, I love The Early November, I'm seein em this weekend, however that statement just wasn't very well thought and was actually quite dumb, sorry

[ESundy36]

The Movielife with TEN in second.

[truebeliever]

fuck the early november, the movielife

[BigMouthStrikes]

The Movielife, although I didn't even realise The Early November had split up!

[a_sk8r]

TEN then Finch i'd say

[MelodyManCan]

finch, dammit they could of made a come back

[bankrom]

i never really got into any of those bands other than allister.

[PoisonInMyVeins]

the movielife. they were my favorite at the time of the breakup. and if it were a year and a half ago, the early november would have been just as depressing. but now it just doesn't compare to the movielife's.

[Mr. Jacob]

i went with the movielife

i miss them

followed closely by finch

even though their last album sucked

they would've never been able to live up to what it is to burn anyway. it was so amazing

[makeasound]

apparently everyone in here is too young to remember the benjamins.
I like the Benjamins... but they weren't my most upsetting DTR breakup.

[Name_Taken]

The Early November, Hidden In Plain View, Finch


you should of included Madison. that one hit me really bad

[Name_Taken]

fuck the early november, the movielife

fuck you

[blimpcityhero11]

TEN without a doubt...

[SuckerForMayhem]

That was hard... I love a lot of those bands, Home Grown, Finch... but Allister was a band close to home, so had to show my love.

[newspapercutout]

TEN :(
second would be HIPV..


am i the only one who HATED the Movielife..
