4 In Tha Chamber - Unstable Foundation MCD

4 In Tha Chamber was a hardcore band out of the Bronx, NYC. They were formed in 1996 by Dave Mitchell (ex-Without A Cause/Fahrenheit 451), and in 1997 their 'Unstable Foundation' MCD was released on Extreme Championship Wreckords. ECW (a reference to then-popular Extreme Championship Wrestling) was a label run by 4ITC's singer Jon. Heavy & semi-groovy NYHC with a slight rap-influence, 4ITC had their own sound going on. They had some problems with their line-up and commitments outside of the band, causing the band to go through several periods of inactivity. In 2000 they released a full-length called 'Existence' on Kingfisher Records and even toured Europe in 2001. Shortly thereafter the band pretty much quit, but then reformed a few years later, with a new singer, and a heavier sound, under the name 4 In The Chamber. This resulted in the excellent 'Memories Die' CD in 2007, which they released themselves again. After that CD the band folded but again reformed a few years later, this time under the name Unstable Foundation. Under that name they released one album that I know of, which I unfortunately do not own. The last thing I heard of Unstable Foundation is that they were looking for a new singer.

Anyways, if anybody has their other stuff (especially their split with As They Die on Moosestyle Records, from 1999), please leave a comment.

Trial By Jury - 1991 demo

And another Trial By Jury request. Not that I mind, Trial By Jury were awesome. Here's their 1991 demo. It has a few songs on it that did not make it on the 7" version of this demo, which was released on Reflection Records in 1992. Reflection Records also did 7" by bands such as Green Rage, Counter Punch and Framework. Anyways, back to the demo. Early 90s new school hardcore with that typical crunchy guitar-sound and spoken/shouted vocals, this is the kind of stuff I live for. I love this band, I'll probably be posting the remainder of their discography sometime soon.

Chilmark - Mosaic 7"

Another request. Chilmark were a post-hardcore/emo band from Barnstable/South Yarmouth, MA. The first time I heard this band was on the 'Boston Hardcore - In Memory Of...'comp 7" on the amazing Moo Cow Records, from 1994. Chilmark had already released 2 self-titled 7"s by then (commonly referred to as the 'Driftwood' 7" and the 'Mosaic' 7" respectively), which were released on CMK Records and Used Gears Records in 1992/1993. I believe CMK Records was renamed to Used Gears Records and was in fact Chilmark's own label? Moo Cow ended up repressing both 7"s, in 1994. Also in 1994, Chilmark's last recordings were released, the 'Fifteen Fingered Man' MCD, again on Used Gears Records. I have no idea what happened to the band members unfortunately. If you're into 90s post-hardcore/emo however, give this band a shot.

Unfortunately my copy doesn't come with an insert, sorry. And even worse, my copy is in pretty rough shape, I tried to clean up the sound as best I could, but don't expect great sound quality, sorry about that!

For those interested, I don't have Chilmark's 'Driftwood' 7", but someone posted it on youtube:
