Editorial Reviews "I was completely floored by this release" ( #2) "The overall mood of Memory Minus is a raucous ride through angst, aggression and fiery emotion ( Rocket) "Up for album of the Year" (MOD) "Pretty empowering stuff overall" The quartet has been a defining force in shaping the Lovitt label; bands such as Engine Down, Bats & Mice, The Rah Bras, and Milemarker are direct off-shoots of Sleepytime Trio and have gone on to their own critical and popular acclaim. To find a truly rudimentary sonic element or aesthetic to any of these bands, one needs to look no farther than Sleepytime Trio. The group truly captured the essence of catharsis in their songs, pieces of reckless candor and beauty. Memory Minus serves as a definitive document of everything the band ever recorded plus live tracks from a show in Germany. The album art and layout are new, and all songs were recently remastered by Chad Clark at Silver Sonya Studio for optimum sound quality and crispness.

About the Artist
Sleepytime Trio started out in Harrisonburg, Virginia, as a side project of the band Maximillian Colby in the fall of 1994. Sleepytime Trio was originally Drew Ringo on guitar, Ben Davis on bass, and Jonathan Fuller on drums.

As Maximillian Colby began dissipating, Sleepytime Trio became everybody's full time band and started playing more. With... read more
Album Description
The sound of Sleepytime Trio is similar to the sound of Maximillian Colby, given the fact that they share two members. However, where Maximillian Colby compulsively builds certain phrases and tones, Sleepytime Trio is more content to get to the crux of the matter, crystallizing drawn-out crescendos into urgent, furious sound clips. Ever teetering on the verge of complete meltdown, Sleepytime Trio's sound is controlled yet spastic, an amalgam of twisted metal, hoarse vocal cords, and churning rumbles.
