A hard-hitting band from the 2000s metalcore scene, known for songs like Lakota and The Poison Apple.
If you want to hear what they were about, Lakota from Beauty and the Bloodshed gives you the idea. The Poison Apple works too.
They came out of Massachusetts in the early 2000s with a sound that felt urgent and unpolished. Songs like The Poison Apple and Lakota from Beauty and the Bloodshed capture that raw energy. Their 2008 legal dispute with Victory Records over royalties showed how messy the business side could get for bands in that era.
Their first album Cover Your Tracks arrived in 2004. They followed with Beauty and the Bloodshed in 2007, then It's Nothing Personal in 2009 after the label dispute. Lineup changes happened along the way, with Mat Bruso on vocals and Mark Castillo on drums at different points.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
