Bio:
From their inception dating back to Feb. of ’01 Dispensing of False Halos was on announced to be one of the Midwest hardest working bands. Formed from members of key Iowa hardcore bands In Loving Memory and Eclipse of Eden, they were already a rumored band of many things. The music was said to be…(taken from actual review) “too metal for the screamo kids”… and …”to screamo for the metal kids”. That was probably one of the ideas that got in the way of this band furthering themselves into the next league of bands. There were plenty of kids across the nation and spreading into Europe, Canada and Latin America that where in search of everything Dispensing of False Halos had to offer requesting shows, interviews and releases. They had released a number of demo version cdr’s that later made their way to vinyl. Also released was a full length CD, split 7” w/ Calling Gina Clark and a CD compiled of unreleased and vinyl tracks. One of the hardest things any band can run into is touring more than they have a chance to write new material. Frustrated with the idea of this, the band parted ways in the summer of “04. While total live performances are uncounted it lies somewhere between 250-300 shows in 38/50 of the U.S. states.
