Another lo-fi three-way split emo 7", this time from 1995 featuring
Moonraker, Don Martin 3, and Hope Springs Eternal. Released on Kurt & Jason. I'm assuming all Florida bands and a Florida record label. One of my favorites!

03 - Don Martin 3 - Transistor.




VA - MINERAL / JIMMY EAT WORLD / SENSE FIELD - SPLIT 7" (CRANK! [CRC013], 1997) [USA]

VA - Mineral / Jimmy Eat World / Sense Field - Split 7"
(Crank! – [crc013], 1997) [USA]




A little lo-fi 3-way split emo 7" from Mineral, Jimmy Eat World, and Sense Field released on Crank! from 1997. I remember being dragged to the mall in the early 00s, finding my way begrudgingly into a Hot Topic and being surprised they had some vinyl for sale. I think I ended up buying this 7" and an Alkaline Trio record for super cheap. It's my favorite recorded song by Jimmy Eat World that sounds more raw than the super polished album version. I also think the Mineral cover of Willie Nelson is a little grating.. but it kind of works in its' own way.






Tracklisting:

01 - Mineral - Crazy
02 - Jimmy Eat World - Secret Crush
03 - Sense Field - Every Reason
