Hans Buenning (guitar), Jason Jones (drums), Aaron Hobbs (guitar/vocals), and Eliot Zizic (bass) make up the emo-pop troupe of Acrobat Down. Based out of Denver, CO, Crank! Records released the band's debut EP, 1 & 2 in 1997; there followed a handful of comparisons to the likes of Christie Front Drive, Belle & Sebastian and Weezer. After two additional 7"s in 1998, Atact Musicalities Records contributed to the release of Acrobat Down's first album, Dereliction, the following year. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
