Unwound is an American post-hardcore band. Formed in 1988 in Tumwater and Olympia, Washington, the band currently consists of Justin Trosper (vocals, guitar), Jared Warren (bass guitar), Sara Lund (drums), and Scott Seckington (guitar).
Originally founded by Trosper, bassist Vern Rumsey and drummer Brandt Sandeno under the name "Giant Henry," Sandeno was replaced in 1992 by Lund who performed on their debut album in 1993. Largely based in Olympia throughout the 1990s, the trio consisting of Lund, Trosper, and Rumsey recorded seven albums, plus numerous singles, and toured relentlessly until the band's dissolution in 2002.
In July 2022, Trosper and Lund reformed Unwound for a 2023 tour in Rumsey's memory, who died in 2020, with Jared Warren filing in on bass and Scott Seckington on guitar.
Links to Peel[]
Peel played the band's debut single in May 1992 and would play further material from their group throughout the 90's, including a session they recorded for his radio programme in 1998. After the 90's, Peel seemed to have lost interest in the band's music.
