Music Is Tight

Dreaming in Blue - The Rock Song

Recorded at Dan's house at the same time as the Dreaming in Blue recordings, Atreyu had even considered having two screaming vocals.  You can mainly hear this on Tulips Are Better with verse trade offs.  Later these songs would be featured on Atreyu - Fractures In The Facade Of Your Porcelain Beauty from Tribunal Records, without the second screamer.

Formed in early 2001, Nightfall included Heather Baker (Guitar/Vox), Andy Lara (Guitar/Vox), Steve Ludwig (Drums/vox), Originally Ryan Hall on Bass/Vox, and later joined Marc "Porter" McKnight on Bass/vox in 2002. The EP was paid by Nate Israel and recorded at Maple Studios in Anaheim (the week after Saosin recorded Translating the Name in the same studio), but never officially released. Many of these tracks were later re-recorded after the band's departure from Andy and Marc later named, As Night Falls. it was at that time Marc joined Atreyu and still plays with them to this day. From then on Andy joined Irvine hardcore/rock band Varota and eventually Takota. Steve went on to form the band Hope Departed with local success. Heather now is a professional guitarist playing with pop acts worldwide and also creates music under the name Antiwave.

In the early stages you can hear Nightfall's heavy Thrice and Thursday influences, that later became blends of the Juliana Theory, Coheed and Cambria, Beloved(US), Hopesfall, and even Cursive. Everyone sang and screamed in the band. It was fucking chaos. And I've yet to since experience anything like it. - Andy Lara

Nightfall

Nightfall 05 - Succumb To Violence

Nightfall 01 - Philosophy of Time Travel

The first EP provided by Nightfall was heavily influenced by Thursday, Cursive, and bands such alike. But, Heather had so much weird and amazing jazz/metal background that offered sounds to these songs that truly showed their potential. These were all recorded with Ryan Hall prior to his leaving in 2002.

Demos

Nightfall - 01 - 18 Years and Dying Everyday

Varita has mysteries beginnings. In 2003/4 however it was made up of Brett Anderson - VOX (former Shotgun Message [Sever YourTies], later Takota > Beta Wolf), Danny Roddy - Bass (Takota > Beta Wolf), Adam Stalnaker - guitar, Andy Lara - guitar/vox (Nightfall, Mind of My own, Dreaming in Blue, Takota), and Jeffrey Pigg - Drums. Based out of Irvine (Andy and Adam from YL) Varota took the scene hard with At the Drive in, The Bronx, and EverytimeiDie influences. Offering in your face sound and riff rage. They didn't give a shit. This is the second recording from their effort.

Digging deeper into the archives, we uncovered Nightfall's actual first EP that had been forgotten. Enjoy.
