Hardcore band from
BROOKLYN, New York
U.S.A
Justin Brannan - guitar,
Steve Bago - bass,
Pat Flynn - drums,
Tom Sheehan - vocals (93-98),
Rachel - guitar (97-00),
Artie Philie - vocals (98-00)
""Indecision formed in 1993. The band members -- guitarists Justin Brannan and Rachel Rosen, drummer Pat Flynn, bassist Steve Bago and vocalist Tom Sheehan (who was replaced by Artie Phillie in 1998) -- met while attending a Catholic high school in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. Indecision played around in local clubs until the majority of the venues in their neighborhood closed down, then took a larger step and integrated themselves into the New York City hardcore scene. Relentless recording and touring kept the band relevant long after many groups from their time and space faded away. They issued a number of singles and three albums with Exit Records, Unorthodox, Most Precious Blood and To Live and Die in New York City, all of which showed off their slightly metal-tinged brand of positive hardcore (which managed to express anger and injustice without being hateful.) To Live and Die in New York City was their first album to feature Artie Phillie on vocals, but the album retained the straight-ahead style that their other releases possessed. In 1999 they tried their luck at another label, putting out Release the Cure on MIA Records. After touring through 2000, the band members burned out and felt it was time to call it quits. Indecision played their last show in El Paso, TX in May of 2000. Rachel and Justin went on to form Most Precious Blood.""

Dark / Doom Metal band from Melbourne, Australia.
Their sound could best be described as a combination of the following key influences: My Dying Bride, Metallica, Amorphis and Dream Theater. They played live several times in the Eastern Melbourne suburbs (Croydon, Lilydale, Templestowe, etc) and released a couple demo tapes and a live CD.
Beau - Vocals
James - Guitars
Paul - Guitars
Sean - Bass
Sam - Drums
David - Keyboards
They also had a violin player on some recordings and live shows, but parted way with her prior to splitting up. All band members were Christians at the time of being together, and their lyrics reflected this. They also managed to play some shows in Christian schools and churches.
In 1997 they recorded a demo tape entitled Storming The Gates, at The Bungalow (a recording studio run by a producer named Kool). It featured mostly instrumental songs and a couple drum solos. Rachel was on this lineup as the violinist.

Doug Wanamaker (keyboards and vocals) performed with Indecision for about a year prior to officially joining in 1989. Chris White (acoustic guitar and vocals) also began sitting in with Indecision as early as 1987, and officially joined the band at the beginning of 1990 to complete Indecision's unique sound.
For the first several years, Indecision played primarily in Virginia, the Carolinas and the DC area, during which the band members attended college. By late 1989, Indecision was touring nationally and shared the stage with many excellent groups and musicians, including: The Neville Brothers, Phish, Widespread Panic, Blues Traveler, Dave Matthews Band, Jorma Kaukonen, Paul Barrere, Danny Gatton, Zero, Hootie and the Blowfish, The White Animals, Waxing Poetics, New Potato Caboose, Blue Dixie, Purple Schoolbus, Max Creek, The Connells, The Wailers, The Grapes, The Smithereens, All Good, Go Ahead, Living Earth, Blue Dogs, Freddie Jones Band, Marshal Crenshaw, The Feelies, David Alan Coe, Drivin' & Crying, Jupiter Coyote, and many others.
Indecision has released several recordings since the beginning. The first, titled Indecision, was released on vinyl in 1986. The second, titled Ponder Yonder (CD), was released in 1991 and the third, titled Reservoir (CD), was released in 1993. In 1996, Indecision released a live show at the Chameleon Club (CD) in Atlanta Georgia, produced by their digital media manager, Duncan Freeman. In September 2004, Indecision released its long awaited studio release, The Great Road (CD). Indecision followed-up the studio release with two digital download only releases in 2006 and 2007.

Dead
Indecision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sealed inside and forgetting all light
Take as much as you can -shove it down
And coke on the best years of your life
This is life - so welcome to it
This is life - it's the way it is
This is life - so get used to it
This is life - it doesn't get any better than this
And no matter how much you give
They will still take it - take it all away
Take it - take it all away
You will never survive this life
You gave too much of yourself away
You can't survive this life - you're dead
You've sealed yourself away
Sealed away from the rest of the world
The lyrics of Indecision's song Dead speak to the feeling of being trapped inside a cycle of self-destructive behavior, addiction, and sacrifice. The metaphor of a nail in a coffin implies that every day lived is a step closer to death, and that the person is already closed off from the rest of the world. The line "Take as much as you can -shove it down / And coke on the best years of your life" suggests that the person is dealing with addiction and using substances to cope with the pain and emptiness they feel.
The chorus of the song reinforces the message that life is not going to get any better and that the only option is to get used to it. The line "Sacrifice every part of yourself and each day you will never get back" speaks to the idea that the person has given so much of themselves away that they have nothing left. Despite this, they continue to give, and others continue to take everything from them.
The final lines of the song are a bleak echo of the beginning: "You will never survive this life / You gave too much of yourself away / You can't survive this life - you're dead / You've sealed yourself away from the rest of the world." The repeated line "You're dead" can be interpreted metaphorically, suggesting that the person has lost their sense of self and their connection to the world around them. The song is a powerful commentary on the toll addiction and self-destructive behavior can take on a person's life.
