Twothirtyeight

Twothirtyeight is a former band that has been classified as indie rock as well as emo. Neither of these genres fully encapsulate what Twothirtyeight was. Beginning around 1995 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, Twothirtyeight released three EPs independently and started to amass a following in Northwest Florida & Alabama. After signing with the now-defunct Takehold Records in 1999, Twothirtyeight released the full length album Missing You Dearly which was dedicated to their former bassist kevin glass, who died in a tragic car accident in 1997. The band also released the Matter Has a Breaking Point EP and Regulate the Chemicals LPs on Takehold. In 2001, with Takehold Records folding, the band signed to Tooth and Nail Records. The label re-released Regulate the Chemicals, as well as the new LP You Should Be Living. In April 2003, Twothirtyeight decided to call it quits after eight years of music making. The band members dispersed on a good note and went on to pursue individual dreams.
