- Erich Emm - bass (also member of Don Caballero and Good Morning)
@ Touch and Go / Quarterstick Records:
Storm & Stress is of course an historical reference to the German literary movement, Sturm and Drang. Ours is more of a modern day version, where the characters still yearn for revolt, but unfortunately cannot. We would like to feel, but have no feelings left. It’s about an impossible situation: the ridiculousness of another era in our new skin (the wigs hurt), the improperness of pop artifice mixed with legitimate attempts at being serious, and then all of the attendant problems, i.e. teenage aspirations tripped up by music that teenagers probably don’t want to listen to, rock without a beat, etc.
storm & stress - self titled (1997)
01. we write threnodies, we write with explosions
02. today is totally crashing and stunned in bright lights
03. dance ’til record skips like passengers shift on take off
04. micah gaugh sings all is all
05. guitar cabinet stack way high is freedom or gravity gives us rhythm
06. piles of blinkers slip for new years
07. orange cone made no noise
storm & stress - under thunder and fluorescent lights (2000)
01. the sky’s the ground, the bombs are plants, and we’re the sun, love
02. an address that was to skip ahead of the gallop of its own sperm and eggs and wait for itself in the future
03. meet me in the space they stare at leaving their seat during a show
04. it takes a million years to become diamonds so let’s just burn like coal until the sky’s black
05. the 1st, our lady of burning thorns
06. o, when my lady comes
07. the 2nd, perpetuate the beautiful
08. and third and youngest, unnamed
09. forever, like anti-oxidants (listen to the sound our cells make)
