The Appleseed Cast
Artist
An American rock band founded by Chris Crisci and Aaron Pillar in southern California in 1996 and is currently based out of Lawrence, Kansas. Their musical style has changed over the course of nearly two decades and eight albums, from emo in the context of the late 90s scene and venturing into post-rock and experimental territory. The line-up has changed multiple times but the band has never split, with Crisci remaining at the helm. The current lineup includes Crisci, Taylor Holenbeck and Nathan Wilder, alongside touring members, Ben Kimball and Nick Fredrickson as well as others.
The Appleseed Cast was first known as December’s Tragic Drive (derived from the Sunny Day Real Estate song, “Seven” off the album “Diary”) with the release of “Marigold and Patchwork,” later changing their name.
