Stop It!! - Self Made Maps

2003. 9 Tracks from Richmond, Virgina's short-lived but revered post-hardcore outfit, Self Made Maps showcases a band that had the potential to melt away the faces of school children everywhere. But instead of faceless children, we are left with only this awesome LP and a Demo that comes just as highly recommended.

From the Robotic Empire Website:
The debut full-length from Richmond, VA's STOP IT!! is an undeniably catchy take on dark rock music. Ranging from harsh and frantic to melodic and stoned-out, this CD shows a raw young band with multiple personalities, all overlaid with shouted vocals and the occasional burst of beautiful harmonies. A fantastically detailed cut-and-pasted layout is housed in a paperboard pack accompanied by a 12-page booklet and perfectly reflects the urgency of this inspiring music. Members of Stop It!! came from ex-City of Caterpillar and Municipal Waste, and then went on to form/join Brainworms, Cloak/Dagger, Pink Razors and more.
