Title: The Promise Ring – Nothing Feels Good
Year/Genre: 1997, Emo

Condition: Sealed (color anniversary pressing)

Cultural Facts:

1. The Promise Ring came out of Milwaukee, tied into the upper Midwest emo and indie circuit of basements, VFW halls, and small clubs.

2. In the late 90s they toured endlessly with bands from Chicago, Iowa, and Jersey, helping turn “emo” from a D.C. niche into a national youth subculture.

3. The title nods to that moment when suburban kids felt alienated from mall culture but hadn’t yet found a language for adult depression or politics.
