The Great Disappointment

About Me

founded in february 2007 we recorded our first EP „lygophilia“ in august 2007. it was kindly appreciated by a lot of people and we played some really cool shows. our second EP "lightness & weight" is available now. these are the facts. we see ourselves as punk/hardcore kids and as such we’re truly devoted to the whole D.I.Y spirit with all its aspects. we're a drug free band but only two members are actually "straight edge". we’re not an “emo band”. we’re not too much into nailpolish and checkered loafers. we respect everyone who is, though.
