| Long lost and forgotten
Bands that faded to obscurity as quickly as they began, or where never known to begin with | | 1 |  | Mannequin
Warps Yr Head
After Pg.99 broke up in 2003, some of its members formed a new band called Mannequin. While Pg.99 where essentially a grind-meets-punk rock screamo band, Mannequin took most of their influences from early, Bleach-era Nirvana. These guys only released a split 7" and an EP before calling it quits, quickly becoming forgotten within the American underground scene. | | 2 |  | Reactor No.7
Discography
Punk band most known for their work on the Document #3 split with Pg.99. They were a somewhat light-hearted band for the most part, usually dressing up as robots and aliens during live shows. In fact, if you were to go on their website, you would find humorous "biographies" of the band members, one of which described the history behind the drummers "robotic arm". They never released anything else besides their split with Pg.99, although this was unintentional. They written a lot of material, most of which intended for compilations, however due to label struggles, no of it was officially released. The band eventually broke up in the early 2000s, and a discography compilation was put out through Robotic Empire in 2001, limited to around 100 copies that were (unfortunately) defective. | | 3 |  | The Cells
We Can Replace You
An indie rock group from Chicago, Illinois. Their debut album, We Can Replace You, was released in 2002 and met to considerable success within the American underground, for the track "Silver Clouds" was included in Dell Computers. Besides that, however, the band never truly met any real success. They released another record in 2005, titled Mayday, and then sort of... disappeared. In fact, I'm not even sure if they are even together still. They had a website that was rarely updated, the last post made on said site was in 2009. Apparently, they intended to record a third full-length album, but any other information on said third album has yet to surface. The website went down only a couple of months ago, so the possibility of them still being around is perhaps unlikely. | | 4 |  | White Hospital
Holocaust
A very short lived industrial project hailing from Japan. The duo only released one full-length and a christmas-themed 7", We Wish You Are Merry X'Mas, before finally calling it quits, with both members forming other projects. Based on my knowledge, Holocaust has been reissued on CD-R formats, including bonus tracks such as outtakes and the We Wish You Are Merry X'Mas 7", but this could be a bootleg. | | 5 |  | Jeromes Dream/July
Jeromes Dream / July
July are an incredibly obscure band who only ever released one thing: A split with Jeromes Dream. Based on the liner notes to said split, July consisted of two dudes from North Carolina. | | 6 |  | Book of Dead Names
The Story Unfolds
Another short-lived screamo band, who only released one full-length and and a few splits with other bands before breaking up sometime around 2002. The band reunited in 2012 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their only LP, The Story Unfolds, and they appear to be active ever since. | | 7 |  | Distorted Pony
Punishment Room
Industrial rock group from Los Angeles, California. Originally starting out as a duo who used a drum machine for percussion purposes, the band grew as more members joined and contributed. They recorded two albums, both with the help of noise rock legend Steve Albini, before breaking up in 1993. In 2010, the band reunited, and they are currently are making plans on releasing a third album sometime in the near future. | | 8 |  | The Original Sins
Self Destruct
A prolific garage punk band from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. These guys took much of their influences from artists such as MC5 and Iggy Pop and released at least an album a year. They never made it big due to the grunge explosion during the 90's when they existed, and they soon faded to obscurity in 1998 after they announced their break up. 10 years, 9 albums, and 5 members throughout their existence, pretty impressive if you ask me. | | 9 |  | Copass Grinderz
Kr/A/sH!
A Japanese punk band who took the fuzzy, explosive tone of the Seattle grunge scene to the max. Seriously, listening to these guys is like riding a roller coaster while your hair is on fire. They released two albums before disbanding during the late 90s, however they've been playing reunion shows since 2012. | |

05.10.15 | Lewis' two albums, "L'Amour" and "Romantic Times" - the guy was once thought to be dead, and little was known about him until last year. Look him up and there'll be tons of articles about him. Currently is still making music, but wishes to stay in obscurity, acknowledges his earlier work but also states that is "in the past".
Snowy Red's entire discog - Marcel Thiel, or "Micky Mike", released four albums under the Snowy Red name throughout the 1980s - really electronic/post-punk influenced stuff. The Right to Die, his second album, had a cover of "Madman", a unreleased David Bowie/Marc Bolan demo. Thiel died sometime in 2009 at 52.
recommended albums from both artists:
Lewis: "L'Amour"

Yeah @Frippertronics, Lewis' story is really interesting. I still need to get round to listening to L'Amour. I've had it for a while now. |
