Snowing: The Emotive Post-Hardcore Pioneers
Emerging from the fertile musical landscape of Long Island, New York, Snowing emerged as a post-hardcore band that left an indelible mark on the genre. Their evocative lyrics, heart-wrenching melodies, and intense live performances captivated audiences, solidifying their status as cult favorites.
Origins and Challenges
Snowing was formed in 2001 by vocalist John Galm, guitarist Jesse Lacey, bassist Paul Klein, and drummer Nate Bogert. Despite their evident talent, the band faced numerous challenges in their early years. Their sophomore album, "At Home, Alone," was plagued by financial difficulties and internal strife, ultimately leading to their disbandment in 2003.
Return and Recognition
In 2010, after a seven-year hiatus, Snowing reformed with Galm, Lacey, and Klein joined by drummer Adam Russell. Their comeback EP, "I Could Do Without Your Love," was met with critical acclaim, reigniting interest in their music. The band's subsequent albums, "Wars" (2011) and "Everything You Want" (2014), solidified their reputation as one of the most emotionally resonant and technically proficient post-hardcore bands of their era.
Controversies
Snowing has not been without its controversies. Lacey, who went on to front the popular band Brand New, has been accused of misconduct and inappropriate behavior. Despite these allegations, Snowing has maintained a loyal following who appreciate their music's emotional depth and cathartic power.
