The Unseen is a hardcore punk rock band (with street punk leanings) that was formed in 1993 in Hingham, Massachusetts. Originally, lead singer of the band was the star hockey player of the Hingham High School team, Marc Carlson. After he left the band, they played as a four piece (see members).

History

The Unseen formed in Boston 1993 and released the demo EP Too Young To Know...Too Reckless To Care in 1994. Two other 7" EP's followed, before the release of their debut full-length, Lower Class Crucifixion on A-F Records. Another two albums followed on the same label before they signed to BYO Records, and then, Hellcat Records. Each of their albums have sold moderately better than previous releases.

The quintet also released a best-of compilation for the European market in June 2000 titled Totally Unseen: The Best Of The Unseen, which contained two previously unreleased tracks.

For the release of their 2001 album The Anger And the Truth, "Chainsaw" re-accompanied the band in the studio to record the song No Evacuation, a song he originally wrote.

After being a member of the band for nearly ten years and writing most of the material on Lower Class Crucifixion, So This is Freedom?, and The Anger and the Truth, Paul Russo left the band after only contributing vocals to one track on their fourth album Explode. Citing differences in direction, he is now the leader of The Strings, an indie rock/folk band. He remains friends with his former bandmates.

Mark Unseen, the lead singer, formed and currently runs ADD Records. He also briefly joined the Maine punk group A Global Threat as a second singer, and recorded the full-length What the ###### Will Change? and Until We Die before deciding to concentrate on his duties with The Unseen.

There has been some controversy concerning the band, including allegations that in recent years they have "sold out". Most widely cited is the fact that The Unseen have produced music videos to air on commercial music video channels such as MTV2, an avenue looked-down upon in the underground streetpunk scene. The band reacted to this perception with the song "So Sick of You."

They have toured Europe, North America, Australia, Japan, and Mexico with many punk heavyweights from The Bouncing Souls and Rancid to decidedly more hardcore outfits like Hatebreed and Sick Of It All. Since the departure of Paul, the band has used many replacements on tour such as members from The Virus, Strike Anywhere, and F-Minus, however, recently, on their MySpace page, The Unseen have included a fifth band member, Jonny, an ex-guitarist of A Global Threat who was in the band at the same time as Mark.

2006 also saw the release of Tripp's book So This Is Readin'?, which details the life and hardships of being in an underground band with dry comedy. It started as a lengthy band history on the band's website, but after a few amusing "chapters" he was contacted by a publishing company to release it in book form.

In May 2006, the band announced on their official website that they would begin writing a new album during the summer. On March 24, 2007, according to Punknews.org, The Unseen has named their new album Internal Salvation and it is scheduled for release on June 19, 2007. The first song released from that album is a track titled "Right Before Your Eyes". The band is also scheduled to be part of the Warped Tour of 2007. [1]

Отличная стрит панк банда из сша, в отличие от всяких Casualties сабж имеет нехилую мелодику, и слушается довольно с удовольствие, хрипящий вокал и хоры тоже колорит придают, и каэшна же ирокезы все делааа) Советую послушать, чем то может напомнить Strike Anywhere
