  <bio>Washington, D.C.-based emo quartet the Dismemberment Plan -- frontman Travis Morrison, guitarist Jason Caddell, bassist Eric Axelson and drummer Joe Easley -- debuted in 1994 with the single "Can We Be Mature?," signing to DeSoto to release the full-length ! in the fall of 1995. The Dismemberment Plan is Terrified followed a year and a half later, and after releasing 1998's The Ice of Boston EP on major label Interscope, the group returned to DeSoto for 1999's Emergency &amp; I. In early 2001, the Dismemberment Plan and Juno issued the Split Release EP, which featured new songs and covers from each of the bands. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide</bio>
