The Warmers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Warmers were an indie-rock band based in Washington, D.C. that recorded and performed from July of 1994 through December of 1997. A trio act that featured Alec MacKaye (guitar and vocals), Juan Luis Carrera (bass and vocals), and Amy Farina (drums), The Warmers released two recordings through the D.C. based record label Dischord Records. Their self titled album The Warmers, released in February of 1996, saw some success on college radio charts and remains a hidden treasure for fans of indie-rock and the D.C. Punk music scene. A second album entitled Wanted: More was released posthumously in May of 2004 and features six songs recorded in December of 1996. Their song "Poked It With A Stick", originally from their album The Warmers, is featured on the three-CD compilation album 20 Years of Dischord.
