The five young men in Phoenix, Arizona’s post-hardcore outfit Greeley Estates have accomplished the near-impossible in their brief time together.

When the band formed in late 2002, none of the three original members (vocalist Ryan Zimmerman, guitarists Dallas Smith and Brandon Hackenson) had been in a band before. A little more than a year later, Greeley Estates has earned a cult following that stretches from Arizona’s Valley of the Sun to the listening parties at Austin’s South by Southwest conference. Their slickly produced and packaged album, Outside of This has recently been released to wide acclaim.
