post-grunge /alternative rock band featuringAaron Sprinkle from Seattle,Washington . They ran from1995 , to1999 .Biography
Rose Blossom Punch was started in 1995 as a side project by
Aaron Sprinkle and Paul Mumaw. Aaron Sprinkle and Nick Barber (bass) had previously played together inPoor Old Lu . Once that group disbanded, Sprinkle and Mumaw decided to join forces with Coggins and Barber and tackle Rose Blossom Punch full time. Their self-released independent recordings were regional hits and earned the band some national attention. Before Poor Old Lu disbanded though, they released two songs: “Sowing In the Sun” (1995) and “See It In Me” (1996 ) onTooth and Nail Records 's "Art Core" (volumes 1 & 2 respectively) compilation CDs. They then signed toFive Minute Walk /SaraBellum Records who put a demo of “Based On A True Story” on their "Music For Meals: Take Time To Listen Vol. III" sampler (1997 ). Surprisingly, this didn’t end up on Rose Blossom Punch’s subsequent full length - however it was rerecorded for Aaron Sprinkle’s "The Kindest Days " album with Paul Mumaw on drums. Their first full-length album, "Ephemere", was released onJuly 10 ,1997 on SaraBellum Records.The next couple of years were spent touring and working out problems with record labels when they finally settled with
Jackson Rubio , only to decide that they were going to head their separate ways. They recorded an EP called "Sorry To Disappoint You" which was supposed to be released on the new label in December 1999, but never was. It lay on the shelf for nearly a year until December2000 rolled around, when they released it independently throughmp3.com .Discography
