The Promise Ring

In February 2012, The Promise Ring delivered a heartfelt performance of "Become One Anything One Time" at the Metro in Chicago. This live recording came several years after the release of their sixth album, "Ten Years of Tension" in 2009, marking a significant return for the band as they began reuniting after their initial breakup. During this period, fans were eager to hear the blend of melodic punk and emotional resonance that originally set them apart in the late '90s emo scene. The sold-out crowd in Chicago was a testament to their lasting impact and beloved status within the genre. It's interesting to note that this reunion came amidst a broader resurgence of '90s emo music, which sparked renewed interest in the band's earlier work, and showcased their evolution while honoring their roots.
