Mineral

A pioneer of the emo movement, Mineral is an Austin-based indie band that was initially formed in 1994. After releasing two albums, starting with 1997's The Power of Failing, the band split up before the decade was over, but its angsty lyrics, melodic vocals and soft, pensive guitar stylings went on to influence the subsequent wave of emo music that emerged in the 2000s. After nearly two decades of inactivity, Mineral announced a reunion tour in 2014.
