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.

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.

In 1996, Indecision released a live show at the Chameleon Club (CD) in Atlanta Georgia, produced by their digital media manager, Duncan Freeman.

Fracture
Indecision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only seemed to lie recounting in a dream that disappeared long ago
As hours grew to days grew to months grew to years
Regretfully it appears that this dream was nothing but a foregone conclusion
Left to spend my waking days refuting the illusion
Put my mind to rest and strengthen my will
Display to me your fidelity and put my mind to rest
Transparent walls that enclose (fracture)
Words untold never cease to repeat nothing superior could I aspire to create
The opening line of the song "Fracture" by Indecision sets the tone for the rest of the track. The line, "For 1200 days and nights, I remained sleepless" suggests a long-lasting sense of anxiety that the singer of the song has been experiencing. The next line only confirms this interpretation, as the singer says that they seem to only "lie recounting in a dream that disappeared long ago." The dream is a representation of a past in which the singer was happy and fulfilled, which is contrasted with their present reality of sleeplessness and regret.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses their frustration with the futility of their dreams. They are "left to spend [their] waking days refuting the illusion" of the dream because the reality they live in is so far removed from it. In order to overcome this sense of disillusionment, the singer calls upon an external entity to "display [their] fidelity and put [the singer's] mind to rest." This can be interpreted as the singer's desire for something or someone to affirm that their dream was not in vain and that they still have a chance to achieve it.
The lyrics of "Fracture" are highly poetic and interpretive, which makes it difficult to pin down a singular meaning. However, the overarching theme seems to be a struggle with the passage of time and the cyclical nature of regret. As such, the song touches on universal themes that many individuals can relate to, making it a powerful and emotional piece of music.
Line by Line Meaning
For 1200 days and nights I remained sleepless
I have been struggling to sleep for 3 years and I'm extremely tired
Only seemed to lie recounting in a dream that disappeared long ago
I've been daydreaming and fantasizing about something that is impossible to achieve
As hours grew to days grew to months grew to years
Time is passing by, and my situation is not improving
Regretfully it appears that this dream was nothing but a foregone conclusion
I'm starting to realize that my dream is impossible and out of reach
Left to spend my waking days refuting the illusion
I spend every moment trying to convince myself that my dream is still possible
Put my mind to rest and strengthen my will
I want to stop obsessing over my dream and focus on improving myself
Display to me your fidelity and put my mind to rest
I'm looking for reassurance and support from someone else to move on
Transparent walls that enclose (fracture)
The barriers that surround me are causing me to feel trapped and broken
Separating us from the words of those
The barriers are preventing me from hearing the opinions of others
Words untold never cease to repeat nothing superior could I aspire to create
I don't know what to do next, and I feel like I can't do anything extraordinary or impressive
