The Bands We Loved In College

• “Broke up” when singer decided to go solo. He still puts out albums but they’re nowhere near as good.

• Disbanded when the drummer died.

• Only released one album, then got day jobs.

• Remained awesome for three more albums, then did a farewell tour that did not come to your town.

• Bus crash killed two members.

• Maintained for years that they were working on a new album, but it never materialized.

• Recorded an album for a major label, who then refused to release it. Broke up.

• One guitarist quit and they kept going for a little while as a three-piece but it wasn’t the same.

• Just disappeared.

• Split up, then reformed with same members under a different moniker. Released one album, split up again.

• Broke up when the singer and the guitarist each decided they wanted to front their own band. Both incarnations still exist and are just OK.
