Formed in 2007 with ex-members of Verse and What Feeds the Fire, the band made waves with a strong self-titled demo\/EP, which was eventually conjoined with newer material for a compilation LP on Rivalry Records called Involution. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAfter recruiting vocalist Rory Van Grol (Achilles, How We Are) and shifting musical direction some, the band issued a singles series of four 7\"s on four different labels. Bridge Nine caught wind of the band and locked them down for their proper full-length debut, Cycles, in 2009. The album was a further watershed moment, a contemporary hardcore anomaly characterized by Scene Point Blank as \"heavily influenced by the likes of 108 and Quicksand, but...also a hint of the noise mongering that was popularized by The Jesus Lizard in there as well...matched with a thick, rumbling, driving rhythm section and Van Grol's coarsely yelled vocals.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe band has since issued two EPs that found them crawling further down the musical noise\/grunge\/hardcore catch-all rabbit hole: 2011's Get Out Now, and their latest, 2012's Bore Core, which continues to push the boundaries of the hardcore terminology\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRory Van Grol\u003c\/strong\u003e - Vocals • \u003cstrong\u003eJim Connolly\u003c\/strong\u003e - Guitar • \u003cstrong\u003eEric Anagnostis\u003c\/strong\u003e - Bass • \u003cstrong\u003eRyan Pitz\u003c\/strong\u003e - Drums\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/7172\/7298\/collections\/SOUL-CONTROL_Bridge9.com_1500x479_header.jpg?v=1764781576","url":"https:\/\/b9store.com\/collections\/soul-control.oembed","provider":"Bridge Nine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
