ARTIST: Lanemeyer
TITLE: If There's A Will, There's Still Nothing
LABEL: Too Hep Records
CATALOG #: TH016
YEAR: 2000

PRESSING INFO:

Lanemeyer was a staple in the New Jersey pop punk scene during its heyday in the late 90's. And they are one of my all time favorite bands. Number 3 behind Green Day and The Presidents.

I bought this off of ebay a few years ago when I heard "figure it out" on a comp (said comp will be posted in this blog!). They were on a lot of comps, and issued a 7", an EP and various demo tapes. This was their second release and their only full length besides the restrospective CD. I have some unreleased stuff that Ill post sometime. I stole this info from Wikipedia...

"Lanemeyer was formed in 1997. Taking their name from John Cusack's character (Lane Meyer) in the film Better Off Dead..., Lanemeyer were known for their humor and love of comedy. They broke up in 2001 after touring with bands such as The Lawrence Arms, Bigwig, River City High, Whippersnapper, and many more. After the breakup, several members continued to perform with other bands, such as The Forever Endeavor and Day At The Fair (Rushmore Records). Lanemeyer has reunited several times to play single shows, with varying member lineups."

Also, Brian from The Gaslight Anthem was the lead singer of Lanemeyer after Chris Barker left along with Mike Doyle.
