Jeromes-Dream
Jeromes Dream were a 3 piece screamo band active from 1997 to 2001.
They had a key role in the emo-violence scene. Jeromes Dream never used a vocal mic during live performances. It is rumored that during their recording sessions, the vocal mic was placed on the floor. Jeff Smith, the vocalist and bassist, suffered major damage to his vocal chords as a result. He puked up blood at live shows, and speculation exists that Jeromes Dream’s final album, “Presents,” has no screaming because he simply couldn’t take it anymore.
After Jeromes Dream split, Jeff Smith went on to play experimental drone music in The Wind-Up Bird. Drummer Erik Ratensperger now plays drums in the band Best Inventions. The other member was guitarist Nick Antonopulous.
In 2005, Alone Records of Oswego, NY released a 2CD discography containing all of Jeromes Dream’s recordings, including some unreleased songs.
