New listener, just bought "Repercussions...". Loving it, although can't find lyrics for "Consider Us Dead" anywhere? Kinda irritating. Great stuff though.

Listening to repercussions of a badly planned suicide takes me right back to 2002..its been on of my favourite albums from day one and still is/always will be. Incredible. Its a shame they were called "the uks answer to converge" and changed their style, that said everything they've done is gold.

Completely agree with mattoy666, there was so much going down in the early 00s and then half way through the decade all the great bands decide to split, whilst some of the worst I've ever heard take their spotlight.

Well, Pin from Sikth now has a new band - Aliases. They are releasing their debut in August 15th I think (via Basick Records). Reuben Gotto is still in Twin Zero and as I know they are preparing new album for this year... At least that's what their facebook profile says... Beecher announced few months ago that they're back and they plan to play few shows in UK this summer. I don't know if this is just tour re-union or something more. Earthtone9 is also re-united and they released Ep few days ago. :)

There was something really special going on in the early 00s - JT, Beecher, Eden Maine, Miocene, Mahumodo, Capdown, Earthtone9 (somewhat earlier) - all brewing something different, interesting and mostly unlike anything else. They all split and I still miss the uniqueness of these bands. Mahumodo went onto *shels and Devil Sold His Soul - so there's some luck there. Some of the Beecher guys formed the Freezing Fog (right?). Anyone know anything about the others? I don't think you can compare these bands to any other......

yes man, I agree with you. JT was really special band and they're still my favorite. It's really sad they decided to break up, but we got to respect their decision. It's obvious they were fed up with state in musical industry and the fact they never got deserved attention. So it's better to do something else in your life if you're broke as a musician. BMTH is definition of bad and "scene" music and I really feel sorry for anyone who say they're something groundbreaking and revolutionary. Damn, I miss them :/

Comparing this band to BMTH, why does everyone think BMTH set a standard!? They're nothing compared to this band. Not even in the same genre for a start. This bands ep totally blew me away when I heard it in 2002, its a shame they didnt stick to that sound though I loved it (Although I love the following 2 albums just as much). They were described as the uks answer to converge (dont see it myself) and changed their sound after ROABPS..because they wanted to stand out from everyone else and all the copycat bands (BMTH being a watered down TBDM with their first full length) which they did, they didn't get the recognition they deserved! And the only bad thing this band ever did was break up..ive just noticed ive ranted about this before..im still posting it.
