Wretch Like Me

Vocalist Abe Brennan met up Wretch Like Me personally in 1996 following the separation of his previous music group, My Name. Accompanied by previous My Name and Goodbye Harry guitarist Trevor Lanigan, guitarist Roy Anderson, drummer Jason Livermore, and bassist Jeff Matz, this Fort Collins, CO-based quintet induced a higher energy of pop-punk silliness upon the discharge of their 1997 debut EP, Control Hairline. Carrying out a couple of compilation efforts, their first full-length, New Methods to Fall (1997), as well as the departure of Matz (who ultimately became a member of Seattle’s Zeke), an extended tour from the U.S. occurred with famous brands All, Lagwagon, and Great Riddance. 2 yrs later on, Wretch Like Me released their second recording, Calling All Vehicles, through Possessed and Operated Information. Lanigan found out a cancerous mind tumor was developing in his mind, and got a year from the group to deal with it. Various inner tensions whiddled the lineup right down to Lanigan and Brennan by 2002, however they continuing and released I Am Become Loss of life that summer.
