Just after Mohinder and right before Duster, Calm surfaced in the mid-’90s to feed on the wage-depressed suburban Gen-X malaise. The trio of Clay Parton, <a href="spotify:artist:2w33m7RldY4tOc64IUv7Vc" data-name="A-Set">A-Set</a>'s Albert Menduno, and Indian Summer’s Marc Bianchi ripped off a six-song EP of chugging riffs, thunderous drums, and muted vocals. Issued in the summer of ’95 on their own Unleaded label, Calm’s untitled 12” was a fresh exhale of post-emo breath. Spiritually borrowing from upperclass indie but working with a no-fi budget, Bart Thurber captured a group of kids coming into their own. Bianchi was replaced by Dove Amber in ’95, and the band criss-crossed the west coast DIY scene in search of a sound. By the end of ’96 Amber and Parton retired the moniker entirely and focused their efforts on the space-walking slowcore of Duster.
