information:
Winter Carnation were a melodic emo band from Melbourne, Australia, formed sometime between 2000-2001. According to an old review on their mp3.com page, "with three shoegazing guitarists, a bass player who doubles as a cellist, a viola player, and a drummer who's open to time signatures other than 4/4, and every one of them having a go at singing/screaming, there's not a lot you can do to shut these guys up."
"It's loud, then it's soft, it's moody then it's uplifting, it's Melbourne music that has nothing to do with the recent 'rock revival' movement (however, the guitarist's foot has been known to slam the big muff pedal once in a while). influences of band members vary a great deal, jumping from braid to mogwai, to dirty three to old swing music and even a little brit pop. maybe even some hardcore, some emo, some classical, jazz and a little hip hop... ok so everything."
Their first EP 'in the future things will be better' is, to my knowledge, lost to time. It contained some early demos and unreleased tracks, some (not all) of which would make their way onto their surviving EP, 'and with one step i'll disappear forever'.
Track 2 is incomprehensibly good. I found this CD in the discount bin of some record store in Melbourne whilst on tour - very, very glad to have done so.
Winter Carnation was Alex (guitar, vocals), Ben (guitar, drums, vocals), Anthony (vocals, guitar), Blaine (bass, vocals) and Evelyn (drums, vocals).
