Nothing Feels Good

The Promise Ring

The Promise Ring was an American emo band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It gained an underground cult following and is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of second wave emo. The band was started in 1995 as a side project by Davey von Bohlen during his time as a guitarist/vocalist for Cap’n Jazz. Von Bohlen started the project alongside guitarist Jason Gnewikow of None Left Standing, drummer Dan Didier and bassist Scott Beschta, the latter two both being former members of Ceilishrine

While it’s certainly open to interpretation, for us, this album is about moving on, in more ways than one. We’re moving on from past problems, from past regrets, from past memories. We’re moving on from our old sound, from midwestern emo, from high school. We hope these songs make you feel as cathartic listening to them as they made us feel when we wrote them. 

Produced by Cameron Boucher and Zak Ickes. Mastered by Michael Butterly.
