Biography

Esteem was a straight edge band formed in 1997, based out of Naples, Florida. The band was together until 2001. During their time as a band, they released a split 7" with Strength Approach (Italy), and a split CD with 200 North, which was released on Eulogy Recordings. Esteem mark the very beginning of Think Fast! Records, with TFR001 being an Esteem compilation, featuring various odds and ends from the band. The CD helped raise funds for future TF! releases. Esteem was one of the very few youthcrew style hardcore bands that existed in Florida during this time period, proudly waving a flag that included influences like Youth of Today and not the testosterone-filled "tough guy" hardcore that was more well known in the scene at the time. Esteem shared the stage with Count Me Out, Kill Your Idols, Hatebreed, Reach The Sky, Shutdown, Trial, Where Fear And Weapons Meet, and many more. They played their final show in 2001 with American Nightmare, Kill Your Idols, and Good Clean Fun.
