Useful Music
Useful Music is a studio album initially released in May 1999 under the SMG Records label by Josh Joplin Band, and again in January 2001 through Artemis Records after the band had renamed itself Josh Joplin Group following a change in its line- up.
While the album did not enjoy widespread commercial success, it peaked at# 22 on the" Billboard" Independent Albums chart and spawned a moderate hit with its first single," Camera One", which quickly reached# 1 on the Triple A airplay chart, the highest position ever achieved by an independent release at that point( February 2001).
Featuring a more rock- edged, radio- friendly sound than most of the other material on" Useful Music," the song was also featured in an episode of the comedy series" Scrubs"( season 1, episode 7," My Super Ego").
Josh Joplin Group
Josh Joplin Group was an American Georgia- based folk rock band led by singer- songwriter Josh Joplin.
Joplin brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, catchy melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe( to the point that one Joplin song," Happy at Last," begins," I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").
After releasing two independent albums-" Projector Head" and" Boxing Nostalgic"- under the name Josh Joplin Band, the group signed to Artemis Records and released" Useful Music" in 2001.
Produced largely by Shawn Mullins, the album received strong reviews but failed to make much commercial impact.
It did, however, spawn a mild hit in" Camera One,".
Featuring a more rock- edged, radio- friendly sound than most of the material on" Useful Music," the song peaked at# 22 on the" Billboard" Adult Top 40 chart in 2001, and was featured in an episode of the comedy series" Scrubs"( season 1, episode 7," My Super Ego").
In September 2002, Josh Joplin Group released its second major- label album," The Future That Was."
On this record, Joplin's lyrics were noticeably more clever and playful than on" Useful Music," with subject matter including the nature of popularity(" The Wonderful Ones"), the absurdity of snobbery among music lovers(" It's Only Entertainment"), and the uselessness of trying to predict the future(" The Future That Was").
The musical styles were similarly varied, ranging from slow piano- and acoustic guitar- driven pop to upbeat keyboard- and electric guitar- based rock.
Like its predecessor," The Future That Was" received critical acclaim but sold poorly.
Artemis released two singles from the album," I Am Not the Only Cowboy" and" Wonder Wheel," but neither one took off.
In the fall of 2003, the band announced that it was breaking up and would play its final two shows in Atlanta in December of that year.
Rorschach (band)
Rorschach is an American hardcore punk band from New Jersey that existed from 1989 to 1993 and again from 2009 to 2012.
Their typical blend of hardcore with dissonant heavy metal elements provided an inspiration to many later hardcore and post -hardcore bands.
The first release by the band," Remain Sedate", shows the band's sound at a stage when they played fast, heavy hardcore with a metal slant and raspy hardcore vocals.
At this time they also drew heavy comparisons to Die Kreuzen for their bizarre chord progressions and Charles Maggio's unearthly howl.
However, as the band progressed, they developed a slower, more sinister, sludge sound that was influenced by New York band Swans.
Additionally, the vocals developed into high- pitched, tortured screaming rather than shouting, due in part to voice problems Maggio was experiencing at the time.
This change in sound can be heard primarily on their second full- length release," Protestant".
Shortly after issuing this album, the group disbanded, some members eventually joining Deadguy and Kiss It Goodbye.
Rorschach has performed occasional reunion shows from 2009 through 2012.
" Decibel" magazine inducted" Protestant" into their Hall of Fame.
The Rorschach song" Pavlov's Dogs" is depicted in the 2012 film" Zero Dark Thirty" as being used to torture suspected terrorists.
Jaywalker (album)
Jaywalker is the first solo album by singer/ songwriter Josh Joplin.
Jaywalker was released on August 23, 2005 with Eleven Thirty Records
