Orange County, CA, USA (1998 – present)

Project 86 is a band from Orange County, CA, USA


In 1998, Project 86 released its self-titled debut on BEC Recordings, a division of Tooth & Nail Records, and was immediately labeled “rapcore” due to strong similarities to acts such as Rage Against the Machine. Though Schwab’s vocals could barely be called rapping, it was a convenient label due to the popularity of that genre of music at the time. The album and a supporting tour opening for P.O.D. and Blindside on the Warriors Tour stirred a lot of hype for the band and their sophomore album was excitedly anticipated.

Project (as the band is often referred to by its fans) released Drawing Black Lines in early 2000 to very strong aclaim and the album is widely considered to be the band’s defining work. In support of Drawing Black Lines, Project 86 toured extensively with the addition of a second live guitarist (Cory Edelman, formerly of No Innocent Victim), headlining with supporting bands such as Living Sacrifice and Stavesacre and also opening for P.O.D. and Linkin Park. Perhaps more importantly, influential modern shock rocker Marilyn Manson took interest in the band and had the song “P.S.”, originally released on Drawing Black Lines, added to the Blair Witch 2 soundtrack. Probably due to this interest, Project 86 became a higher priority for Atlantic. DBL was slated to be re-released with new artwork and three new songs, but in actuality it was only a bare bones repackaging of the exact same album. However, Atlantic did pour over half a million into Project’s next musical foray, entitled Truthless Heroes (2002), which, though proving to be the band’s most popular outing yet, was released amidst great turmoil.

    You know, people got really pissed off when Truthless Heroes came out, and I really don't blame them. On the other hand, Truthless Heroes is, without any contest, their best record. When I listen to it and Songs To Burn Your Bridges By, I shake my head and think about how awesome they could've been if they had stuck with and/or bulit upon those two albums.

    Kickstarter update: "We are making final preparations to head to Nashville to record. We have never done an album in Nashville so this will be a new experience and we are looking forward to sharing it with you. We have lots of musically gifted friends in Nashville and you may just hear a few of them on this project. We plan to do plenty of studio updates and share behind the scenes pics/videos and give you the inside scoop on how things are going every step of the way. We are still writing, writing, writing new demos with the goal to record the most epic batch of songs possible. We are also excited as both U.S. and European festival and show offers are rolling in for 2012! We will be seeing you soon and sharing these new songs with you live!" Yay :3 [2]
