Rival Schools - Discography

You asked for it and here it is. If someone can get me the track listing to the Unreleased LP you should let me know. As I said before Rival Schools is one of my favorite bands. While his work with Gorilla Biscuits and Quicksand might be more influential to the modern music scene of today Rival Schools was easily his most mainstream outfit. I mean, they were played on MTV for christs sake. That being said there is nothing at all flawed on United by Fate. This band is one of those you have to look back at and listen to in the context of a certain time period. Imagine the mid to late 90's. Everclear, Third Eye Blind, Eve 6 all might come to mind as far as popular rock music goes and United by Fate fits right in there with the lot of them except it definitely has a LOT more depth and a lot less angst. The others, to be perfectly honest, I rarely listen to, but its worth listening to them at least once just to experience it.

Quicksand had ALOT more MTV spins than Rival Schools. I think they were even deemed one of their "Buzzworthy" bands.

The lost album (I think) is the actual album of material that they were going to release.

The Unreleased LP is the B-sides and stuff that they demo'd.

The tracklist links above are for the Lost Album, which is better than the unreleased lp, but neither are really great compared to united by fate.

BUT that's just my opinion, ;-)

Unreleased is confirmed just B-sides from throughout the career - one of them is actually a Quicksand song. Ain't that some s@#t?

1) weed it out
2) on vacation
3) accept the compliment
4) hostage calm
5) bells
6) daydream
7) sweet
8) grunge model
9) get center
10) requiem

the link I got this information from is here:
