Repair and Reward

by Lincoln

supported by

John Isaacson Who can ever forget the Lincoln/Hoover split seven inch? I always thought "Benchwarmer" was a Hoover song. That's how good Lincoln is! Favorite track: Waterboy.

Shawn Lindsey one of the best, most underrated bands probably of all time. also the songs are not in chronological order, they were heavy at first and slowly got a little more melodic and touched on that d.c. sound even though they were West Virginia lads. Jay was a badass. Favorite track: Benchwarmer.

about

Lincoln was a Morgantown, WV band formed in 1992 by Jay Demko (vocals/guitar), John Herod (guitar), Justin Wierbonski (drums), and Johanna Claasen (bass). Dan¬ Ball would later take over on bass. Though a band for only a brief time who left behind only a handful of recordings, they remain highly respected and are often regarded as one of the many foundational pieces of what would become known as “post-hardcore,” as well as the proto-emo scene that was birthed by bands like Rites of Spring and Moss Icon. Lincoln’s first 7” was originally released in 1992 by Watermark Records. The following year, their universally beloved split 7” with Washington, DC’s Hoover became the inaugural release on the Art Monk Construction label. A final Lincoln 7” was released posthumously in 1994. All of Lincoln’s releases have remained out-of-print and unavailable since the late 1990s. In 2021, Lincoln’s entire recorded history was recovered, and the original analog tapes were restored and transferred. J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines) newly mixed every song. All eight songs – seven that originally spanned three 7” singles, plus a previously unreleased track – are now finally available on CD, LP, and Digital formats. It all sounds and feels better than ever, and shows just how much a small band from a small town with a small discography can have such a large and lasting impact.

Coriky

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Let These Days Pass: The Complete Anthology 1991-1995
by Falling Forward

supported by 41 fans who also own “Repair and Reward”

Arguably the best melodic hardcore band of the early 1990s not just in Louisville but everywhere else. The songwriting is dynamic, the musicianship impressive, and the vocals both beautiful and intense. Gone before their time, but it's okay because we got Elliott and By the Grace of God from Falling Forward's unfortunate demise. LJDJD4
