THEY FACE REACTION
CURITOWN TO CHITOWN: FROM THE JUNGLES OF BRAZIL TO THE ALLEYS OF THE U.S. They Face Reaction has been around since the beginning of 2006 and was originally found in the city of Curitiba in Brazil. When singer/guitar-strummer Pedro Prosdocimo a.k.a. Greeps came back from the experience of living and playing as a guest in a punk rock band in Europe in the end of 2005 he took a little time to assimilate the experience. Then back home he took a few remaining songs from his then dead local Curitiba hardcore punk band Citizen Caged and metamorphosed them into a not so fast, more angular but pop at the same time, consistency. He then knew that a new outfit had to be created. When his cousin Ren Volpi, a post-hardcore singer/guitar player veteran as well, came back from California they named it They Face Reaction and completed the 4 piece with local scene’s band-mates, and also adding some of Ren’s actual compositions to the set. After about a year and a half of independent material release and small touring they reached the maximum level of recognition they could ever expect from their home country’s little audience. The small success back home have inspired for a big decision of relocating to U.S. and Chicago IL ended up being the chosen scene for these punk rock enthusiasts to start over in 2008. Now the band has recently been re-based and had the honor of Chicagoan members Tyler Eckhart and David Perrin joining respectively on the positions of drums and bass guitar player. Their first performances as the new formation started on the summer of 2009 in Chicago and they have never been so excited.

Based in the Chicago area, the band has played across the Midwest at numerous festivals and venues from Ohio to Iowa and everywhere between. Thinner Teed has been a part of Summer Camp Music Festival, Wakarusa, and many other events over the past years and performed at venues like Double Door & Hard Rock Cafe.
January of 2013 brought a change for the band. Two of the original members had decided to pursue other life ventures and a new drummer was brought in; helping to solidify an already evolving sound and group dynamic. The new line-up is electrifying; the energy on stage, passion for writing, and music are second to none.

THE UNSEEN
The Unseen’s inception dates back to 1993 when Mark, Tripp and Scott met while at school in Boston. Looking for something to do after school and on the weekends the misfits began making noise in their parents’ basements. Influenced by artists such as The Clash, Bad Religion and Sick of it All, the guys began playing their own unique breed of Boston punk.
The bands project turned into a full-time gig in no time. Within only a few years the band had already carved a name for themselves in the local scene with their highly energetic shows and street hustled EPs. Over the course of the next few years the band released a slew of EPs and albums and in 2002 they added drummer Pat Melzard the lineup.
With the release of each album the band’s tour schedule got more intense. In 2004 the group began a whirlwind tour that included dates in Europe, North America, Austraila, Japan and Mexico with fellow punk bands Sick of it All, Suicide Machines, Agnostic Front and Hatebreed among others. Additionally the band has done several full headlining tours across the United States.
In 2005, The Unseen signed to Hellcat Records and released State of Discontent, an aggressively raw album with stains of political discontent. Following the release the group added long time friend and guitarist Jonny for an additional punch to the band’s already hostile sound. After opening for bands such as Tiger Army and Rancid in the US and Europe to support the album, the band launched a full-blown headlining tour of the US.
Unable to stay quiet or immobile after another relentless tour, The Unseen returned to their outpost in Stoughton, Massachusetts with longtime cohort and producer Jim Siegel in late 2006 to record their fifth album, Internal Salvation.
“To me the new album starts right where State of Discontent left off,” explains frontman Mark Unseen. “We are still the unseen still playing real heavy hardcore punk but we are also not afraid to make a pro sounding album or to try something a bit different sometimes. We have always wanted to stay the same band but progress a little each album.”
The Unseen, known for voicing their opinions on social and political matters, give listeners a heavy dose of what’s on their mind with Internal Salvation, featuring songs that deal with problems in the world to the extinction of originality and thought. “Lyrically the album is mainly about not knowing what is going on and feeling like you’re at a point where you don’t know what to do to get ahead,” says Unseen.
