Dahlia Seed

Please Excuse All the Blood

Spirit Of Orr

I’m thrilled when things like this finally manage to find their way out of someone’s closet. Dahlia Seed was a vibrant band that existed from 1992-1996 churning out a brand of emo/indie rock filled with intriguing guitars, raw honesty, and well-sung female vocals. They released two albums and a bunch of singles. This is a collection of some of their rare material (like the Voivod cover from their one-sided tour single) along with unreleased recordings and live songs. The live songs don’t fare so well, but the other recordings are nice to have out finally. Not a band to be forgotten.
