Recover is an American rock band from Austin, Texas.
Recover is an influential post-hardcore band composed of Dan Keyes (guitar/vocals), Robert Mann (guitar/vocals), Ross Tweedy (bass), and Santiago "Jimmy" Vela III (drums). The four first started playing together while in junior high school, under different names, but didn't officially form Recover until 2000. The band recorded a four-song demo in the spring of 2000. The demo found its way to Fueled by Ramen via the band's friends in fellow Austin band The Impossibles. The band would eventually sign with the label and release their debut album, Rodeo & Picasso, in the summer of 2001.
The band toured extensively in support of the album, and in 2002, released a follow-up EP on Fiddler Records, Ceci n'est pas recover. The band continued their exhaustive touring schedule, opening for bands such as Jimmy Eat World, AFI, The Get Up Kids, Braid, Thrice, as well as up-and-coming bands such as Finch, My Chemical Romance, Thursday, Taking Back Sunday and Coheed and Cambria. After major label courting, the band would eventually sign to Universal imprint Strummer Recordings, alongside The Rapture and The Mars Volta, in late 2002 and continue heavy touring throughout 2003 and 2004.
In summer 2003 the band retreated to Austin Texas to write and record demos for their second full-length "This May Be The Year I Disappear" with the help of producer and friend Rory Phillips, a process that would take almost eight months, due to recording setbacks and producer shifts. The band moved to Los Angeles and recorded, then scrapped an entire album of material with Linkin Park producer, Don Gilmore at NRG Studios in North Hollywood. According to the band's A&R and label, the recordings weren't up to par with the original demos recorded by the band months earlier, so the band headed back to Rory Phillip's studio in Austin Texas to proceed recording. They recorded a few new songs and had them mixed, along with a handful of the original demos, by Andy Wallace. This May Be the Year I Disappear was released in October 2004. The album marked a significant change in sound, with the band moving away from their signature post-hardcore sound and toward a pop rock sound, polarizing many of the band's fans.
