Top 15 One-Album Wonders

As music fans, we hear a lot of new music all the time from promising new artists. Some national debut albums really leave a mark on us, getting us pumped for the artist's career ahead. Sadly, some of these artists never even make it to album number two before they stop making music, break up, or just disappear.

This list is a countdown of our top 15 "One-Album Wonders" -- bands that released just one album before disappearing from the map for one reason or another -- leaving us to wonder what could have been with album number 2.

#10. Guerilla Rodeo
Guerilla Rodeo EP

Release Year: 2004



During the "final" year of Five Iron Frenzy, Reese Roper gathered some musician friends and created a Christian music supergroup of sorts called Guerilla Rodeo. Featuring Reese on vocals, Ethan Luck (O.C. Supertones, The Dingees) on lead guitar, Sonnie Johnston (Five Iron Frenzy, Jeffries Fan Club) on rhythm guitar, John Warne (Ace Troubleshooter) on bass, and Josh Abbott (Ace Troubleshooter) on drums, Guerilla Rodeo would have been a tour de force in the pop punk scene.

Their one and only, self-titled EP, containing a mere three songs, filled me with joy, and also left me feeling sad, as I knew that this was the only music we would ever hear from this group (though there's a rumor that they wrote a fourth song that didn't get put onto the EP, though this song will most likely never be released). The EP is interesting still; it's almost as if they wrote three songs that would each capture a different side of Reese Roper's lyricism. "Ride, Rope, and Destroy" would serve as Guerilla Rodeo's anthem, "Stuntman" was a little nod to Jesus (though you have to look for it to see it), and "Someday Buddy Someday" (a play on the U2 song "Sunday Bloody Sunday") was the satirical Roper we all know and love. And it's all set to music that literally blends the stylings of Five Iron Frenzy, Ace Troubleshooter and the Supertones.

I know this group will never write another song together again. I know this. But maybe in Heaven...
