====== Estis P@rc ====== Shoegaze / Indie Rock\\ Axtell, Nebraska, USA "Estis P@rc was started in April of 1998, by Steven Dahl, as a 'just for fun' affair. The band played some local gigs, with a very positive response. Soon afterwards they cut their first indie project, //Sometimes Not//, which received national attention from many different media types, including [[HM Magazine]], CCM, [[The Phantom Tollbooth]], [[Cornerstone Magazine]], and [[True Tunes]]! They were selected to perform on the Cornerstone New Band Showcase, which helped them land their current record deal with [[Puddlegum Communications]]. Estis P@rc recently recorded their sophomore release and national debut album //...And So It Begins//, which will be released through Puddlegum Communications in June. Estis P@rc combines thick, space-like guitars, driving drums, and playful keyboards with Magdelyn's melodic, sultry vocals to create a sound that can only be described as "fringe-rock!" Estis P@rc draws from styles from diverse musical backgrounds, including groups like My Bloody Valentine and [[Starflyer 59]], Nirvana and Depeche Mode, to create this sound. They use their music to create a relationship with their listeners, opening a door to share Christ both on stage and after their performances!" ===== Discography ===== | 1998 | Sometimes Not | | 1999 | ...And So It Begins | [[Puddlegum Communications]] | ------ ==== Sometimes Not ==== 1998 Independent Magdelyn Waggoner - Vocals\\ Justin Debus - Lead Guitar\\ Jared Ostrander - Bass\\ Steven Dahl - Drums - Sunny Day (2:32) - G.I.
