UNSANE - DISCOGRAPHY (76 VIDEOS)











Unsane

Profile:
Formed - 1988 in New York.

Noise rock trio of Chris Spencer (The Cutthroats 9), Vincent Signorelli (Swans) and Dave Curran (The Cutthroats 9 & The J.J. Paradise Players Club). The original lineup consisted of Spencer, Pete Shore and drummer Charlie Ondras, who passed away from a drug overdose in 1992.

The video for the song "Scrape" (from their 1995 album Scattered, Smothered & Covered) received a lot of airplay on MTV and became their biggest hit to date.

In early August 2019, Chris Spencer announced the band is permanently ceasing activity.

Note - in order to avoid confusion with the heavy metal band of the same name, they often use the suffix "NYC".Less

For 30 years Unsane played heavier and nastier than many other bands. From their first single to their final album it was screaming vocals, distorted guitars, grinding bass lines, and heavy drums. Consistency was the key to their success in my opinion. You can pick up any record and immediately understand what they were about, whether you liked it or not is another story. Its sad to see they're no longer together but it was a damn good run. RIP to such a great band.

Along with Velvet Underground and Sonic Youth (although on an entirely different musical plane), NYC favorite sons Unsane are one of those bands that seems to epitomize what the city is about. By now, many people are familiar with their trademarks - raw and noisy rock music with heavily distorted vocals courtesy of Chris Spencer and bloody record covers, featuring nearly everything from the man lying on the subway tracks with his head cut off to a girl in the bathub on their latest "Blood Run". They went on a hiatus in the mid 90s and suffered the death of a drummer Charlie Ondras in 1992. But as of now, all of those black clouds seem to be gone and they're back to form. Long may they reigh.
