about
Spirit Assembly is an incredibly influential, although not well-known, emotional hardcore band from Lancaster, Pa. They were an important figure in the central Pennsylvania and southeast firehall [VFW hall]/basement scene, sharing the stage with bands ranging from Frail and The Bouncing Souls. The lineup included: Sam Stansbery, Dru Martin and Zachary "Gus" Martin, although an early formation of Spirit Assembly was a four-piece, the voice of the original singer can be heard on early recordings. They have several vinyl releases -- Fruit of Hate 7" - Motherbox Records #1, Side A: Mouse holes Side B: Deteriornation Old Joe The Eternal 7" (1994) - Released on Ancestry and Mother Box, Side A: Pop Acculteration, Side B: It Wasn't Me, Equinox (the only release by the original 4-piece) Spirit Assembly/Car vs Driver Split 7" (1995) - Released as Yuletide #2, Side A: Ingestion, In Order to Visualize Welcome to Lancaster County 12" (1996) - Yuletide #5, Side A: Simple Transaction, Continuity W/Out Question, Nameless, Convention Invention, Side B: Self-Appointed Outcast, Pop Acculturation, Manmade, Stain Spirit Assembly toured extensively throughout the US. Any bands labeled as "screamo" owe much credit to Spirit Assembly whether they know it or not. Performing, they looked like 3 crazed Amish men with their long beards. They are the original Amishcore band. More songs can be heard on myspace music under the name "spiritassembly" http://www.myspace.com/spiritassembly Can't sa
