about

A re-release of the Weep’s FIRST SINGLE, released 12 years ago to a disinterested public. Now the Weep is proud to share this out of print, and newly remastered gem to a still mainly disinterested public!

THE WEEP MANIFESTO:
1. Weep is without foolish pride! Weep have shed their thin mantle of embarrassment to do what needs to be done in order to give you a fattening slice of their musical pie. A pie filled with passion, honesty, guitars larger than their wielders, drumming as big as the house your wealthiest friend lives in, bass guitars playing the melody rather than the harmony, keyboards louder than you expected, and mincemeat.... Pie metaphor.
2. Weep promises to shame the room with their big-bad-sound. Therefore redefining your sense of shame. Supplanting your embarrassing 8th grade Washington Trip blunder with their thunderous sound.
3. Weep promises to walk you to your door, give and give you a respectful kiss on the cheek. Weep will do all of this musically, and from a safe distance.
4. Weep will never wear statement hats on stage... Probably. Or not… Whatever.
5. Weep is completely without marketing savvy and has no idea how to "make-it". Therefore: your love of Weep will never be sullied. You can always enjoy your hip status of loving an eternally underground band.
6. Weep is shaded by the soft, delusional cloud of self-love. But unlike other narcissists, Weep wants you to compete with their delusion. Weep dares you to love Weep more than Weep loves itself. There are no losers in this musical love-fest, with the exception of those who can't embrace the mighty sound of Weep. Seriously, Weep believes that these “Weep deniers” soulless monsters are probably jealous... Weep's delusions are boundless!
7. Weep's music is 98.5% free of irony. Any stupid thing Weep does is done because Weep thought that it was the best thing to do. Sentimentality? Fuck yeah! Drama? Yes please! Loud keyboards? What of it!? Choruses that pay-off like so many musical orgasms? Damn right! Completely ignoring what is "in"? You know it!
8. Weep forges your tomorrow wearing old shoes, a new shirt, and trousers made of steel! Weep thinks you get what Weep is trying to say here... Because you are "in" with Weep.
9. Weep is packaged in a peanut free facility that processes other nuts.
10. Weep believes that they are your favorite band. Don't tell Weep otherwise. Weep has feelings too. Lie to Weep if you must!

The Weep sound in one, run-on sentence:
Mixing in all the stuff about music that's really cool, and deleting all the really crappy parts, WEEP has created a sound that is as new as any idea executed well, and as fresh the memory of the first time you were laughed at for wearing that floral shirt to school, and as cool as that floral shirt. ... more
