Join'r/Houseboy

To start the year today I will bring up a band that is very underrated and not appreciated as much. About 2 years back or so I ran into a band called Join'r mysteriously. I really loved what I heard. It almost sounds like Braid but better with some early sounds of Sights and sounds (2006 Canadian band). There is some math rock that forms in between that bursts out then comes back but its fucking catchy. I can't find much info on this band but they released about 5 albums during their lifespan under a unknown label called your new boyfriend records. To my knowledge this band was recently added to discogs because a few years back they weren't even listed there. Seems like only 2 of the 5 albums are on discogs which happen to be released in 2000 (yep 2 albums in the same year, you don't see that every day) there is a last fm page which brings little info to the table such as demos being recorded in '94 but the band became a actual band in '97 or something. It is really hard to tell which album was out first but I think Shouldercalendar might have been the first of theirs. It is a fucking shame this band only pressed their albums in CD format from at least the first 3 albums I ran into. I happen to have Shouldercalendar, Myriad event and I am not well which I think they are really fucking good. At times Myriad event and I am not well seem to be the same album just separated since both have a distinguished same sound (considering both released in the same year) there are 2 albums that I don't have any songs for one called A food for thought and Besides (which I have 4 songs I was able to find my way around the Internet) it is fucking crazy how not many know of this really cool band too. It does feel like a post thisendlessbreath should take on but this band has been one I have been listening to and searching for a long time. Some members were in 2 separate bands between Houseboy which sounds like a more fast pop punk version of Join'r and Driver eleven which I have never heard. It seems like Join'r ended in 2006 so it is possible that a food for thought and Besides were released sometime later between 2001-2005 or so. Houseboy is another band I wanted to mention up here. I couldn't find the bands 7"s and split but I was lucky to find the bands only 2 full lengths. Like I said it sounds like Join'r just less mathy though. Houseboy formed in '93 and ended sometime in '98 or '99 after a member of the band passing away. There was a 3rd LP which featured demos and unreleased songs but to this day it hasn't happened. That is as much I can speak for both bands. As for Driver eleven it also sounds like Join'r very alike actually which I also admired along my way of doing research for Join'r but I couldn't find anything besides one song on youtube and as for discogs I only see a split from them released in '97 but also were part of a compilation called First crush released back in '97. Driver eleven sounds a little like a early Pecola (Another band I need to bring up here) with Join'r it is a shame I couldn't get anything else from this band. I will try my best to dig more info from Driver eleven and post them here.
