.Releasenotes ..............................................................
Now on vinyl for the first time in over 20 years, PiebaldÆs ôWe Are The Only
Friends We Haveö has earned its place as one of the most notable and iconic
emo albums of the era. Completely remastered for vinyl by Jack Shirley (Joyce
Manor, Quicksand). Completely reconstructed artwork created from negatives of
the original photo shoot, and includes a retrospective essay written by the
band. Originally produced by Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies, Dinosaur
Jr).
If you were to look up the word "piebald" in the dictionary, youÆd learn that
it means ôhaving irregular patches of two colors, typically black and white.ö
But if you were to ask any of their loyal fans, theyÆd probably refer to
ôPiebaldö as one of their favorite bands of all timeùa hard-to-describe,
genre-less, energetic four-piece known for their raw, matter-of-fact lyrics,
infectious hooks, fun live shows, and their penchant for doing everything on
their own terms. And this year, Piebald turns 30!
Piebald was founded in Andover, Massachusetts, in 1994 by Travis Shettel
(vocals/guitar/keys) and Aaron Stuart (guitar/vocals). Through Andover High
School friends and siblings, Jon Sullivan (drums) and Andrew Bonner (bass)
were added to complete the original lineup. In a time before cell phones,
Spotify, or even Napster, Piebald became an integral part of the same indie,
post-hardcore music scene of the Merrimack Valley that birthed musical
monsters Cave-In and Converge.
On February 19, 2002, Piebald released their critically acclaimed third
album, *We Are the Only Friends We Have*. Now joined by Luke Garro on drums,
the band embarked on the most thrilling stage of their career. National radio
airplay of singles ôAmerican Heartsö and ôJust a Simple Planö and tours with
the likes of Minus the Bear, Glassjaw, Hey Mercedes, RX Bandits, Saves the
Day, and New Found Glory led to more mainstream success and helped birth a
cult following.
Piebald became recognized as ôone of the most dependably fun bands of the
late '90s/early '00s emo touring circuit,ö and ôkings of sing-alongs,ö led by
Shettel, who ôcrafted lyrics that could weave between intensely
autobiographical, sociopolitical, and sarcastic.ö
The band initially called it quits in 2008 but reformed in 2016 to celebrate
the digital re-release of their catalog, and they havenÆt looked back. Since
their reformation, Piebald has toured with Dashboard Confessional, The
Movielife, and Weakened Friends, reinstated their annual holiday shows, and
graced the stages of festivals such as Boston Calling, Riot Fest, Furnace
Fest, and Wrecking Ball.
Now, Piebald has teamed up with Iodine Recordings to remaster, repackage, and
re-release their long out-of-print catalog, and there has even been talk of
new music. The impact of Piebald on the alternative music scene is
undeniable, and their legacy continues to inspire a new generation of
musicians and fans. A toast to 30 years of Piebald!
