Frodus

A singular group, Frodus took shape in 1993 in the vicinity of Washington, one of the strongholds of the first Post-Hardcore wave started a few years earlier. Rapidly productive, the trio released its first cassettes in the same year and will continue to maintain a steady pace of release until its disappearance in 1999. This one comes even before the release of a final album, And We Washed our Weapons in the Sea, which will only be exhumed in 2001 by the label Fueled by Ramen. Over the course of his short career, the formation of D.C. will gradually stand out from his congeners by a petris approach and versatile sound of the Post-Hardcore of origins and coupled with an atypical attitude between cynical hypercommunication and ubiquitous use of symbolism. This led in 1998 to the recording of the well-named Conglomerate International - their most recognized record - whose release allowed the group to take the step to Refuseed for five weeks for its first and only passage in Europe. Died and buried for ten years, scattered among various formations (Decahedron, Combatwoundedveteran Frantic Mantis, The Out Circuit, The Cassettes ..), the trio is partly reformed around its only two stable elements: Shelby Cinca and Jason Hamacher, in 2008 following a strange circumstance contest and an aborted Division of Laura Lee concert. However, the combo will only be officially released the following year. Building on this new momentum, Frodus began to compose and record new titles, the first two of which appeared in 2010 on the 7" Soundlab1 .
