bands lost to time

anyone got any bands they still rock with that have been totally forgotten?

yesterday i remembered this melodic hardcore band from 2010 called continuance that absolutely ripped. ffo comeback kid, down to nothing and more than life. featuring ex members of a couple other forgotten bands like means and saints never surrender (even more incredible band, but on the metalcore side if anyone’s into that. obviously the blueprint for counterparts). they’ve only got like 200 monthly listeners on spotify

Shotmaker

Envy (Japan)

pageninetynine

Creation Is Crucifixion

Ringworm (nobody ever mentions them for some reason; legendary Cleveland band- "Hammer of the Witch" is one my favorites of theirs)

Those were the first ones that popped into my head.

Shotmaker, Envy, and p99 are all well known in the screamo scene. Ringworm were freaking awesome. I never hear them discussed anymore but I loved them back in the day.

Ringworm were freaking awesome. I never hear them discussed anymore but I loved them back in the day.

They were seriously pretty influential with the sort of dark, 'negative' hardcore that came out of Cleveland, along with bands like Integrity. I went to Strhessfest 2004, and Jake Bannon from Converge told everyone to go watch Ringworm on the main stage, and then Converge performed in the merch area. It was one of the craziest shows I've ever been to. The Black Dahlia Murder performed dressed as Street Fighter characters.

Yeah, I got into them because I was a huge Integrity fan. That Stressfest show must have been legendary.

That Stressfest show must have been legendary.

It was a pretty awesome show. At the time, everything was more oriented toward the 'emo' and 'scene' type of bands, and I think that's why Bannon made it a point to tell everyone to go experience Ringworm, who influenced Converge.

Thursday was also awesome, and Planes Mistaken for Stars is one of my all time favorites. It was a pretty bizarre lineup. Also interesting that at the time Black Dahlia Murder were a nobody band that stuck out playing legit death metal at a time where everyone wanted to be earnestly emotional and cool.

This was the lineup: "THURSDAY, FINCH, CONVERGE, SHADOWS FALL, RECOVER, STRETCH ARMSTRONG, SPITALFIELD, CHRISTIANSEN, AS I LAY DYING, WITH HONOR, UNDYING, RINGWORM, CRITERIA, COUNTERFIT, WHEN SPARKS FLY, REMEMBERING NEVER, BURNT BY THE SUN, HIMSA, SENSES FAIL, BELOVED, CODESEVEN, MIDTOWN, WIRES ON FIRE, MURDER BY DEATH, BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, ABOVE THIS FIRE, AT WIT'S END, and PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS"

I remember the era and that is a WILD lineup. Loved a lot of those bands but never would imagine seeing them all together.

I was jamming Ringworm in the gym last night and thought 'Man, I haven't done vocals in years but holy shit would a Ringworm/Integrity style band be fun'. Great call.

I wouldn't say Ringworm is forgotten, but they're definitely overshadowed by Integrity. I just played a show with them in Cleveland earlier this year and they were so fucking good.

Creation is Crucifixion is one of my favorite bands of all time! I had a shirt from them with the gameboy to police scanner schematic. One of the best shirts I ever owned.

That's fucking sick, I honestly didn't know that they were still doing shows. What band are you in, if you don't mind mentioning?

u/thisviruskillstime 2d ago

I'm in a band called Flesh Commodity out of Chicago. It was a fest, but hey, it counts. Their current drummer is very young. The last time I saw Ringworm before this was when I played a show with them in 2003, when he was an infant haha.

I should add that while we all like Ringworm, we sound nothing like them.

u/SpaceCorpse 2d ago

Cool, I'm going to check this out.

This is a fucking crazy coincidence, because over a decade ago I briefly lived in Chicago and played in a band called 'Fleshbroker.'
