Released in 2002, Things To Remember was the last release for California's Quest For Quintana Roo. This three song seven inch is my favorite release form this band. Call it emo, screamo, or emotional hardcore, this is a band that defines the hard to define genre. They have all the call signs of a real emo band. Short lived, few scattered releases, and not a lot of information to be had. Dynamic music that ebbs and flows, but is usually pretty loud. Emotionally screamed vocals. A tight, three piece sound.
It all starts with a track called Apnea. Lots of distorted stop and start guitar riffs over drums that rise and fall as necessary. A nice little instrumental interlude in the middle adds to the overall flow of the song. Next up is They Spoke In Greek. This one starts out fast and driving, then continues on in the style of Apnea before slowing to a stop at the end. Things To Forget is an altogether different one. Half the length of the other two, Things To Forget is a short, bass led instrumental. With a steady drum beat out front and some playful guitars on the edges, this song serves as a goodbye.
