| Young,
passionate, and LOUD AS FUCK, InMemory captures
the essence of all that is rock music. Their debut
album “In So Many Words” is a rich blend
of evocative moods from the likes of Brand New,
the dance-happy rhythms of Hot Hot Heat and all
the while brandishing the intensity of The Used.
InMemory conveys what life and music are all about…
in so many words. |

Fanzine (Germany) - December 6, 2005
Surprise of the month!
I
got aware of this band by their song “Accents Are
Overrated”, which is a really catchy and diverse
hit, so I was more than excited to hear how the other
songs by InMemory sound. Judging form the pictures on
the CD, I guess the band is quite young, so I wasn´t
surprise to read lyrics mostly dealing with boy- girl
relations. The sound of InMemory perfectly matches to
the lyrics, as they´re exactly playing the sound
of the “youth of today”. This means emotional
and catchy stuff in the vein of bands like Thursday or
Taking Back Sunday. I was really surprised to like this
CD as much as I do, as I normally aren´t into this
kind of music that much. But I wouldn´t do InMemory
justice to label them as a clone or rip-off , as all of
the songs are diverse and loaded with lots of ideas, to
make them outstanding. “Accents Are Overrated”
even reminds me of bands like Oliver Twist or Monochrome
with it´s catchy yet frantic approach. Great band!
So if you´re into the
bands mentioned above, be sure to get this CD!

Skratch
Magaine - October 2004
Stutter-stop emo kids In Memory have actualized the formula
of At the Drive-In dumbed-down for the Thursday nation.
With passion and angst their sole ingredients, they fail
to realize any original moments that Finch, Brand New
and dozens of others haven’t mined in the last year
(if not months). Their tight rhythms and nimble guitar
lines work their damnedest to charm any listener, but
the vocals do more for the over-all product than anything
(especially carrying lines like “I’m not satisfied
with being anonymous anymore”). Scatty moments and
breathy chirps show more pop attention than most of their
contemporaries. The band shows potential to carry the
torch if the screamo-emo-whatever flame isn’t extinguished
by boredom and a lack of creativity genre-wide.

InMemory "In So Many Words" CD
Alright, so generally speaking, I'm really not into
what's going on this so called "pop-punk"
genre, but on their debut full-length, titled "In
So Many Words," Simi Valley California's InMemory
has impressively created their own sound in this otherwise
inane scene. With Jeff O'Rourke behind the board, these
guys put together a well crafted album of twelve songs
that sounds clean, hard and extremely energetic, giving
nods to such bands as Hot Hot Heat and Story of the
Year, but most importantly, without trying. Even though
this CD didn't come fully packaged, the sample of the
cover art on the one sheet looks pretty damn cool. Very
Dali-esque, which I like, so kudos on that. All in all
I'd say that both DoughMain Records and In Memory have
a real winner on their hands so keep an eye out for
this one. (Doughmain > PO Box 1489 > Thousand
Oaks, CA > 91358) Shawn Gardner

InMemory is a five piece band that was formed in 2001. This
emocore band released their first EP that only contained
3 songs but the quality of the songs was just great. "If
Shadows Wrote Diaries" was just an amazing song and
I played it on my stereos for a long time. After that I
almost forgot how good InMemory is. Taking influences from
bands like The Used, InMemory´s sound is just astonishing
and talented. After the release of the 2003 EP the band
played shows and promoted their EP with the result that
they got signed to DoughMain Records. That was the opportunity
to the band to get big and they hit the studio to begin
recording their first full-length "In So Many Words"
release in the beginning of 2004. In
"In So Many Words" InMemory show how they manage
to put more than 3 tracks to an album and the result of
this is impressive. "In So Many Words" continues
the same sound they created in their EP and I consider
"Accidents Are Overrated" as the best song on
the album. This 12 song album is a tight and powerful
package from a band that changes from emo to hardcore
in an instance. They have also included one of their old
songs "Characters" on the album to mix up the
concept. This song was definitely worth adding because
their EP wasn´t that wellknown and the track is
awesome. With this album InMemory will get more time in
media and their name will be included in many shows. Only
minus that I found in this album is that somehow it isn´t
as hard as their EP was.
InMemory´s
new album will be released through DoughMain Records in
28th September and it will blast a lot of stereos with
it´s beautiful lyrics, talented guitars and awesome
screams. I recommend this CD to all the people enjoy emocore
and especially to the fans of The Used. This album is
worth purchasing!
