Getting into this band for me was destiny.
A long time ago, in a high school far, far away, I played my first round of Emogame while I was taking a break from my late-afternoon drafting class. A pixelized rape scene is the perfect thing for your teacher to catch you wasting your time on.
After a few minutes of nonstop joy, I would get to the mini-boss band that was The Anniversary.
Months would pass by and I eventually forgot about this amazing band, that is until I decided to look for songs with the name of my friend, Emma, in the title. The Anniversary found their way into my heart through the song "Emma Discovery", a song that places somewhere between 7 and 15 of my personal list of greatest songs in the world.
This band broke up in 2004 after they went downhill and degraded into a not-quite-Foo Fighters-rock-but-still-annoying-and-somewhat-southern bore-fest, but they're still number 9 in my heart.
Pass up their album "Your Majesty" and head straight for "Designing A Nervous Breakdown".
