90 Day Men emerged from the vibrant post-hardcore scene of the late 1990s, crafting a unique sound that defies easy categorization. Originating from St. Louis, Missouri, and later relocating to Chicago, the band quickly made a name for themselves with their intricate and experimental approach to rock music. Their lineup traditionally consisted of Brian Case on vocals and guitar, Cayce Key on drums, Robert Lowe on bass and trumpet, and Andy Lansangan on keyboards. Drawing from a rich palette of influences ranging from punk to progressive rock, 90 Day Men developed a style marked by angular guitar work, complex rhythms, and a penchant for atmospheric keyboards, all of which culminated in a distinctive sonic experience.

Throughout their career, 90 Day Men released a series of critically acclaimed recordings, each showcasing the band's evolution and refusal to be pigeonholed. With albums like "To Everybody" and "Panda Park," they pushed the boundaries of post-hardcore and indie rock, incorporating elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde music. The album "(It (Is) It) Critical Band" demonstrated their ability to blend dissonant guitar lines with sprawling song structures, while "Too Late Or Too Dead +2" featured reworked and expanded material that further solidified their reputation for challenging and thought-provoking compositions. Though they disbanded in the mid-2000s, 90 Day Men's adventurous sound and diverse discography continue to resonate with fans of boundary-pushing music.
