Corm - Audio Flame Kit | Polyvinyl Record Co.

Audio Flame Kit

Release Date: November 8, 2005

Best known as John Davis' band prior to Q and Not U and Georgie James, Corm was together from 1990 to 1997.

Audio Flame Kit was the first and only full-length recorded by these Braid tourmates.

Originally a 1996 split release between Dischord and Shute, Audio Flame Kit eventually fell out of print. In the spring of 2005, the album was remixed and remastered at Silver Sonya/Inner Ear Studios by T.J. Lipple (who has worked on several Dischord remasters and is a member of Aloha) and re-issued by Polyvinyl.

Reviews

Now a decade old, it still sounds energeticand fresh, and surely had an influence on many groups to emerge since.

- Punk Planet
Urgent vocals, angular guitars, and choppy lyricfragments are what Corm hurl forthbest, making them one of the best, but least-known, post-hardcore emopredecessors.

- Punk Planet
An essential look back that should not bemissed.

- First Coast News
Strong songwriting from beginning to end

- Indie Workshop
With unpredictable time changes, churningguitars, quick drums and dejected shouts, this band crafted an album trulyrough and impressively authentic.

- Punk Planet
A morsel of guitar-laden goodness that'sstill tasty 10 years later.
