Painful Reminder

Painful Reminder's music has been described as being what happens when folk singers go bad. The combination of acoustic guitar and soulful lyrics hail back to folk rock, but with a more progressive feel, darkly realistic subject matter, pounding chorus lines, and emo-like melodies. The songs range from the entertainingly lively and bitter to the bleak and subdued. Formed at Georgia Tech in 1998, Painful Reminder played some half-dozen shows around campus, solicited to do so by friends and strangers alike who had heard recordings shared over the campus network.

With only word of mouth, they managed to sell more than 90 copies of their self-released CD, "One Way Ticket: Songs To Slit Your Wrists By".
