Christian-minded post-hardcore outfit Showbread is known nearly as much for their fashion sense (frequently sporting duplicate red and black outfits) as they ar for their spastic, self-described "rude rock" music and energetic live demonstrate. Hailing from Savannah, GA, the seven-piece band comprised vocalists Ivory Mobley and Josh Dies, lead guitar player Matt Davis, bassist Patrick Porter, guitar actor Mike Jensen, drummer Marvin Reilly, and keytar player John Giddens. They self-released deuce EPs in 2001, Human Beings Are Too Shallow to Fall in Love and Goodnight Sweetheart, the Stitches Are Coming Apart. Showbread signed to Solid State/Tooth and Nail in mid-2004. Working with producer Sylvia Massy Shivy (Puppet, Johnny Cash), their label debut, No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical, appeared that October. Extensive touring commenced with bands like Versus the Mirror, Sullivan, and Dead Poetic before the guys (now wear smutty and common outfits) followed up in August 2006 with Age of Reptiles. Reilly was credited with playing drums on the criminal track record, simply was no longer a phallus of Showbread by its release. Subsequent dates with Paulson, the Finalist, and Roses Are Red were played in support.
