Unwound was an American post-hardcore band, based in Tumwater/ Olympia, Washington, United States. Formed in 1991, the band consisted of Justin Trosper (vocals, guitar, songwriting), Vern Rumsey (bass), and Brandt Sandeno (drums), all of whom had previously been in a band called Giant Henry. Brandt Sandeno quit Unwound in 1992 and was replaced by Sara Lund. This line-up would remain in place until the band's dissolution in 2002. The group was strongly associated with the label Kill Rock Stars throughout the 1990s. Unwound was sharply dissonant and angular, often resorting to unusual guitar tones, and associated with post-hardcore and noise rock. The band toured frequently, preferring "all ages" clubs and are noted for their strong DIY ethic. The group spawned numerous side projects.
Unwound was a talk show in the United States, produced by MiS Productions and broadcast on the internet radio station, Japan-A-Radio. It is hosted by Jesse Barredo and Michael Garcia, and is primarily a talk show covering Japanese animation and related events, along with interviews of industry authors, artists, and voice actors. It was originally billed as an old-school/new-school debate, with Barredo representing the newer generation of fans, and Garcia representing the older generation.
The content of each program varies from season to season, as old segments may be discarded in favor of new ones. However, the format remains the same: reviews of anime and other commentary. Every fifth episode since its first broadcast has been focused entirely on 'classic' anime titles, referred to as an 'Old School' show.
Unwound is the first studio album by the American post-hardcore band Unwound, although their fourth to be released. Recorded in May 1992, it wasn't released until August 1995, at which point Unwound had already recorded and released three other albums. "Kandy Korn Rituals" and "Against" (the latter of which is unlisted and attached to "Kandy Korn Rituals" on this album) were released on a 7" by Kill Rock Stars in 1992, along with a live song called "Hating in D". "You Bite My Tongue", "Understand & Forget" and "Kids Is Gone" were released on a self-titled 7" by Gravity Records in 1993. The other songs on this album were previously unreleased. Drummer Brandt Sandeno quit before the mixing was completed so the release was shelved until 1995 when the band decided "it was good" and finished the mixing. The vinyl version was released on Vern Rumsey's Punk In My Vitamins label. Trouser Press called the album "one of their best"
