Underminded

San Diego,California USA (1999-2009): Underminded is a hardcore band from San Diego, California. The band is currently taking a break as its members concentrate on side projects. Frontman Nick Martin is currently in Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows and drummer Tanner Wayne was most recently drumming for Chiodos. Band members Nick Martin and Matt Johnson met while classmates at a Catholic school, and formed the band together in 1999. They were encouraged to tour by Buck-O-Nine singer Jon Pebsworth very early in their career. Their debut full-length, Hail Unamerican, appeared in 2004. Following the release of the album, the band played the entire 2004 Warped Tour. A follow-up full length, Eleven Eleven, was planned for release in 2006 but was actually issued in 2007. Paul Miner produced the album. The group toured with Chiodos, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Emery, and The Devil Wears Prada following the release of the album. Lead singer Nick Martin is part of the live back banding for ex-Chiodos lead singer Craig Owens, as well as a part of the super-group Isles & Glaciers and he played guitar in the defunct Cinematic Sunrise. He did two guest spots for Chiodos last record, as well as toured with them for the Vans Warped Tour 2009. He is the first of two guitarists announced for Craig Owens' new band. The name of Owens' band is D.R.U.G.S. Underminded deliver "well-coordinated, punishing metal-based hardcore intensity," and tour their balls off. Releasing their first LP "Hail Unamerican!" in 2004, the band has toured basically non-stop USA, Canada, Europe and brought forth one of the best live shows filled with intensity and mayhem. With a new album and more tours coming up you'll want to discover this band right away. Discography The Task of the Modern Educator EP (2003) Hail Unamerican!
