The Promise Ring

On May 20, 2012, The Promise Ring performed at Irving Plaza in New York, showcasing their song "E Texas Ave." By this time, the band had reunited after a hiatus since 2002 and was in the midst of a comeback phase fueled by nostalgia for their seminal contributions to the emo genre. Prior to this live recording, they released their album "Wood/Water" in 2002, which was their last studio effort before the hiatus. The live performance at Irving Plaza came as part of their reunion tour, celebrating their influential sound and re-engaging with long-time fans while attracting new listeners. This period marked an important moment in their career, as they aimed to revitalize their presence in the music scene and were also seen as a significant influence on later bands in the genre.
