Recover

There are at least three bands called Recover: 1) Recover comes to us from Austin, TX. Started by four young childhood friends as a Green Day cover band, the reclusive set eventually found a sound of their own that defies today's incessant need for sub-categories. If you can't resist, Recover is a rock band, pure and simple. After releasing their first full length ?Rodeo and Picasso? in 2001 on indie Fueled By Ramen, at an average age of just 18, Recover was approached to release an EP with another indie, Fiddler, later that year.

After releasing their first full length ?Rodeo and Picasso? in 2001 on indie Fueled By Ramen, at an average age of just 18, Recover was approached to release an EP with another indie, Fiddler, later that year. 'Ceci N'est Pas Recover' was recorded in 2002, with producer Brian McTernan, at Salad Days studio in Beltsville, Maryland. Slowly pulling out an evolved sound, Recover found their voice and set their sights on touring. Their raucous live show and strong original songwriting quickly made them a bands' band leading to a slew of great touring partners. They hit the road relentlessly for two years with peers including Jimmy Eat World, A.F.I., Taking Back Sunday, Coheed & Cambria, Thrice, Thursday and many others. After signing with Strummer/Universal records the band spent the second part of 2003 writing and recording their major label debut due out in the fall of 2004. Recorded by hometown friend and confidant ?5th member' Rory Phillips and mixed by the legendary Andy Wallace, the album combines the raw emotion and experimental musicianship that encompasses the ?best of' their previous two efforts.

In early 2009, the band announced that they have officially reunited and that their first show back will be at the Chain Reaction.

2) Recover is also a Hardcore band from Singapore. Their S/T album is the second full length from this old Singaporean band. This full length retains the old school hardcore sound with plenty of breakdowns, sing alongs, fingerpoints and mosh parts with a slight metallic feel. The production is superb but not overly done. Lyrics deal with socio politcal issues like the Bush administration, the UN, IMF and more. Comes in a tri fold digipack. A classic.

3) Recover is a currently unsigned rock band based in County Carlow, Ireland. The four members are originally from Co. Carlow, Co. Wicklow, Co. Dublin and Turkey. The band began in 2008. Recover play covers as well as a handful of original songs.
