Artist description We play political, DIY hardcore/screamo/punk stuff. We get told we'd do better if it were 1994 again - when emo meant something besides guitar-driven pop. The band functions as a way for us to express the ideas, values, hopes, and dreams we have as people. We are all active in various ways in radical social change, and the band reflects our committments to creating a better world. Have fun, build community, and pre-figure the kind of world we want to live in.

Music Style hardcore / punk / screamo / DIY

Artist History Blair and Matt once played together in Dying By Degree. In 1998, we began jamming again (Matt switching from bass to guitar), and recruited Brent (who was in a local band called Acts of Heresy) to play bass. We started jamming with Marek (on drums), and things clicked. Starting writing songs, and eventually got Dan Mohdiak (from Dying By Degree) to sing for us. Played 2 shows (I think) with Dan singing, and then parted ways. Matt and Blair picked up singing duties for a little while, until Christian (who had quit Revelation Records/ Himsa a few months prior) asked us if he could sing at our show that nite. He swore he know the words, so we gave it a whirl. That clicked, and we've been playing together ever since. After our west coast tour in Spring of 2002, Marek left the band on good terms. He is now singing for The World We Made. In search of a drummer, Matt switched to drum duties, and we've been working on a new guitarist Cliff. A few months later Matt moves away to play in End on End, and San Diego's Arrow in Flight. Marek comes back on drums, we play a farewell to MAtt show with all six members, then record Hang Us All As Traitors a full legth to be released on (em) Records/Portland The November Group will tour three weeks in the whole US in the spring of 2003, and record a new record to be released on Mountain/NY. Stay Tuned. West coast tour for early summer also in the works. Thanks to way too any people for all the support!
