5.0 out of 5 stars Gone but not forgotten..., May 3, 2000

By

This review is from: Distant (Audio CD)

Sarge is, quite seriously, one of my favorite bands of all time. A little bit poppy, a little bit punky & a whole lot of smart lyrics make all of their albums staples of my music collection. I had first found out about sarge from CMJ: New Music Report (Issue 564 April 6, 1998). They had a great review of "The Glass Intact," but if you go back to "Charcoal", you will still be pleased. But seeing them live was the biggest treat. "Distant" rounds out the trilogy with some live songs, some new songs and some off the wall covers. While Sarge has since broken up, the music continues as founding member Elizabeth Elmore intermittantly plays gigs in between law school while Sue Roth continues with her own new band, The Very Fangs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goodbye......, May 21, 2000

Sarge is a band that, though not well known, will be greatly missed by those that heard them, and "Distant" is a beautiful, if bittersweet farewell. The live tracks as well as the demos are incredible; it is sure to give old fans and new a taste of what they will be missing. While those new to Sarge may do best to start with "The Glass Intact" or perhaps "Charcoal", I feel that "Distant" is far from simply a B-sides album for collectors, and I would encourage everyone to purchase it before it is no longer available. What better way to say "thanks" for three incredible albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sarge is a Nerver dissapointing Band!, August 4, 2005

I would have to say that Sarge never seems to dissapoint me at all. This for being there last album w/ rarities and un-release tracks really puts in perspect of what Sarge was an extrodinary pop-punk band. Elizabeth's song writing is undescribable she really makes you understand the fact of being heartbroken. You feel her pain in Distant. The live version of "The First Morning" is better than the original. I saw this band live when they were to there end. I have to say they are amazing souls. Every album of Sarge is no dissapointment. You'll be playing them non-stop. So if you want to listen to some great pop music in your face listen to Sarge. Also check out Elizabeth's new band The Reputation a must have.
