Biography

With stated influences like Mineral and the Promise Ring -- and a name like 1997 -- it's pretty obvious with which wave of emo the hearts of this Chicago quintet lie. Prior to forming the band in October 2005, members of 1997 had spent time in area outfits like Constance, Funeral Etiquette, and October Fall, but nothing felt quite right until everyone started jamming together in a suburban Lombard… Read more in Amazon's 1997 Store

5.0 out of 5 stars This Debut Album is a HIT !!, April 28, 2007
A Kid's Review
1997's debut album "...A Better View Of The Rising Moon" scores high marks in my book. With Lyrics like, "Turn the lights off. I don't want to see myself doing this" as found in the song "Garden Of Evil" or from the song "Hey Darlin" , "Casting shadows on the pavement, dancing toe to toe" keeps one tapping their foot and enjoying the music.

With a splash of Mandolin, Banjo, Harmonica and even Cello, an extra unique flavor, which sets the band well apart and above the typical carbon-copy emo-type sound. 1997 does not yield to, or continue down the easier passed path placed on today's stages from other bands - 1997 has found their own path and forge ahead without screaming or cursing or songs without substance.

From "Waters Edge" to "Curse Or Cure" - the entire CD is a treat to hear and enjoy, over and over!

4.0 out of 5 stars Better View Rising Moon, August 27, 2008
If you like the song "Water's Edge", that doesn't mean you'll like this CD. Now if you savor this band's unique sound, by all means you will enjoy the CD. But do not expect every song to be the same as it's single. Overall I think this is the group's best release. (Not to mention that Alida Marroni and Kerri Mack are both very talented singers and attractive women!)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Albums of 2007`, October 7, 2007
By David E. Kealey (Bruchmuhlbach, Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
1997's debut album is by far one of the best of 2007. It is one of those rare gems were every song is great. You can listen to one after the other and not have to skip. They came up with the name of the band because someone said no one born before 1997 would listen to their music but I'm in my 30's and this is one of my favorite new bands and I'm excited to hear more new music from them. Great album!

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't say this often
This is a CD I like so much I can listen to it from the first to last track straight through without skipping any songs, over and over again. It's just good fun music. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars First album I've spent money on in a long time.
A Better View of the Rising Moon is an exciting debut reminiscent of 1997's extremely energetic life performance. Each track keeps you on your toes. Read more
