Tumwater/Olympia, Washington (1991 – 2002)

Unwound was a U.S. post-hardcore band based in Tumwater/Olympia, Washington. Formed in 1991, the band, originally known as Giant Henry, consisted of Justin Trosper (vocals, guitar, songwriting), Vern Rumsey (bass), and Brandt Sandeno (drums). Unwound released a full demo tape in 1991, and recorded a mini-album in early 1992 (released as Unwound in 1995 by Honey Bear Records). Two songs from the demo tape later appeared on A Single History: 1991-1997. In July 1992 Sara Lund replaced her friend Sandeno. The group released several singles and albums, primarily on the Kill Rock Stars label, before disbanding on April 1, 2002, shortly after co-headlining that year’s All Tomorrow’s Parties festival. The fact that they broke up on April Fool’s Day fueled speculation that they would, in actuality, remain together; an early band t-shirt had the inscription “Unwound 1991-2091”. Unwound’s Fake Train was the first full-length musical release on Kill Rock Stars; it had been strictly a spoken-word label until its owner Slim Moon attended an Unwound concert and decided he had to release their upcoming debut (though technically second) album. Unwound also had the maiden releases for several other key underground record labels, including Gravity Records and Troubleman Unlimited Records; side project Replikants had the first release on 5 Rue Christine, an esoteric KRS offshoot.
