Schooled in Victory – Snapshot of an Era
Formed out of the ashes of two other fine KC bands (Animated by Sound & The Storied Northwest) was Schooled in Victory. Just like the members previous bands, their time spent together was a brief one. However, they spent it wisely by recording and putting out a pretty good record titled Snapshot of an Era through their own Normal.Productions imprint. Much like The Storied Northwest, they operated in more of a spacey sounding Midwestern rock territory but maybe to a bit of a lesser extent. Definitely similar to various Midwestern greats like Shiner and Hum or west coast natives Failure. Very large sounding and riff heavy for sure.
I sadly missed out on the initial run of Snapshot of an Era and at the same time the opportunity to have a physical copy of it. The good old internet provided shoddy rips eventually and for quite some time was the only way I got to listen to it. However I just realized this past week that the excellent Sun Sea Sky label has revived the album in digital form. They offer it up in high quality MP3 or FLAC files for the quality diehards. Either way, good way to go for those that still would like to hear it that may have not had the chance to previously.

Jonathan could you upload this album somewhere, because it is impossible to find or to buy it in Europe.
