After the first album or 2 they pretty much totally changed line up and had a bunch of dudes from Ulcerate, Dayone, Newayhome, Misadventures in self surgery etc and actually played decent metal rather than the step up step up for 8 foot sativa sorta stuff. All the rest of the members (apart from Gary the main dude) went on to form mark of man prior to 8 foot going back to their roots.

It's a slightly longer story than that:

Gary had a hand surgery and the rest of the band gigged without him for a while. However Gary still hasn't recovered after about a year and rest of the band have written a new album without Gary's involvement, so they decided to move on and do the new album as another band (The Mark of Man).

Then Gary reformed the band with some older members after he recovered, but apparently the other guys have fired him last year, which was a bit funny.

The results so far are here, for those of you who Spotify:

I have been indiscriminately adding albums rather than curating it, so it is just a big mess of stuff, which is great for shuffling up new stuff (well, new to my ears anyway). I've also added some of my old faves.

Not together anymore but check out my old band Addison if you like post hardcore kind of stuff.

I didn't think we would be on Spotify but seems our EP has been randomly added into another Addison ha ha ha ha. https://play.spotify.com/album/16ao1lvrFTNbBK6ZuPa9SC

Second EP isn't on there though.
