It all started in 1995, when Steve Krecklo taught Thomas D’Arcy to play the bass guitar. Within months the first Carnations line-up was formed. By 1996, they were in the studio. Nathan Rekker was added to the line-up, and the first album, Superluminal, was released in 1997. The album received favorable reviews, and one song, Bald Avenger, was selected for the CFNY New Rock Search CD in Toronto. When the album was recorded, D’Arcy was sixteen years old, and Krecklo seventeen. When it came time to act upon this first tidbit of success, they weren’t even old enough to play in a bar. Also, originating from the small town of Oshawa, Ontario made it difficult to promote themselves. Borrowing the parents’ pick-up truck just wasn’t working out. In 1998, the band released a split seven inch single on Sycamore Records in Barrie, Ontario. The single was named one of the top ten of the year by NOW Magazine. At the time, reviewers compared the band to the likes of Supergrass or The Buzzcocks. When A Return To Melody, the second LP, was released, the drummer had his thumb severed by a band saw while working in a factory job. Needless to say, the band was forced to take yet another hiatus. After the accident, The Carnations began to play more shows in the greater Ontario, developing a reputation on the road. For example, they were
