Music for a Monday: Northstar

One of my favorite bands of all time, like most great bands they imploded after only a couple albums.

Genius has its price.

I first saw them in Tampa in Dec of 2002. They were playing with Taking Back Sunday and the Starting Line. Northstar may have been the opener, but they were probably the best band. They're certainly the one that stuck with me the longest.

You know, if you can even understand what they're saying.

This song comes off of their last album, which came out in 2004.




Their lyrics are some of the best I've ever heard, right next to Modest Mouse. Except, you know, more shoegaze-y.

There also aren't very many videos of them. So, you know, even more reason to be all emo.
