Year 8, Day 364

Hey guys. Today's song is Call Me When You're Sober by Evanescence.

Evanescence is an American band, active since 1995 with the current members being Amy Lee, Tim McCord, Will Hunt, Troy McLawhorn and Emma Anzai with past members including Ben Moody, David Hodges, Will Boyd, Rocky Gray, John LeCompt, Terry Balsamo, and Jen Majura. The group was started by Lee and Moody who met at a Christian youth camp where they were both kind of the odd ones out.They started playing gigs, and selling their EPs, released in 1998, 1999 and 2003 and their early demo from 2000, at their shows which earned some local radio play and built their local following. They were signed in 2001, releasing an album in 2003, followed by another in 2006. After the tour for the album in 2007, Lee took a break, then came back and was writing her next album in 2010, that was released in 2011. In 2014 their label sold their masters, leading to a lawsuit from Lee for their unpaid royalties, and ended with them being dropped from the label. Lee started focusing on solo stuff in 2015, but was also still working with the band, touring in 2016. They released an album in 2017, followed by a tour. They had another hour that was released in 2021 followed by touring in 2022 and 2023 so they're still going strong. This is one of their older songs, but if you're interested you should go check out some of their newer stuff.

Peace.
