Promise Ring
A band whose early albums practically defined emo, The Promise Ring created a rich body of work in their seven-year existence that gradually moved from melodic post-hardcore to delicate, sparkling indie pop. The sentimental, boyish vocals and lyrics gave voice to a whole new audience of sensitive boys (and the girls who love them), thumbing its nose at punk and hardcore's outsized machismo. By the time of their dissolution, following the release of their gently strummed, lush WOOD/WATER, they were the most popular band in the growing emo genre.
