Carissa's Wierd

Carissa's Wierd (Weird being deliberately mispelled) was an indie rock band from Seattle. Mat Brooke and Jenn Ghetto formed Carissa’s Wierd in 1995, and released three albums before their 2003 breakup. Some people classified their genre as "sadcore", which is (according to wikipedia) an infrequently employed subgenre term used by music journalists to describe examples of alternative rock characterised by bleak lyrics, downbeat melodies and slower tempos. LOL @ bleak lyrics, so what's the difference between emocore and sadcore? Maybe i should invent a new genre too named "sorrowcore" or maybe "crycore" perhaps? LOL. Mat Brooke and Ben Bridwell later went on to form Band of Horses.
