The Appleseed Cast
The Appleseed Cast is an American indie rock band based in Lawrence, Kansas, composed of singer/guitarist Christopher Crisci, bassist Nathan Whitman, guitarist Taylor Holenbeck and drummer Nathan Wilder. The band's predominantly guitar-based music has evolved from intense, heavy emo indebted to such acts as Mineral and Sunny Day Real Estate to a unique "post-rock" sound hinging on inventive, intricate drumming, subtle guitar arpeggios and a vast range of effects.
Biography
Formation and Debut
The band formed in 1997 in Southern California with Crisci and Pillar joining bassist Jason Wickersheim and drummer Louie Ruiz under the name December's Tragic Drive (derived from lyrics of the song, "Seven" by Sunny Day Real Estate). The following year, the band - now billed as The Appleseed Cast - signed to Deep Elm Records out of New York — before relocating to North Carolina — and released its debut album, The End of the Ring Wars. The album was met with considerable approval from the emo and underground scenes. However, the album was also criticized in some quarters (most notably by Pitchforkmedia) for sticking too closely to a style already well explored by previous acts such as Braid and Sunny Day Real Estate.

Peregrine
by: Appleseed CastOn your own, come back.
give a call, contact.
So alive, sidetracked.
So alone, come back.
Decide.
I don't know,
what to do to show you.
It's something so old-
and its cold, like a stone.
All that's said.
All that's said, could you just shake in a lie?
With a knife in your side.
When you come back to me,
