Conformado en 1991, la banda consistía del guitarrista, vocalista y cantautor Justin Trosper, el bajista Vern Rumsey, y Brandt Sandeno como baterista, los cuales provenían de una banda llamada Giant Henry. Sandeno abandonó el grupo en 1992, siendo reemplazado por Sara Lund. Esta alineación del grupo sería la permanente hasta su separación en el 2002. Junto a sus contemporáneas y coterráneas Sleater-Kinney, Unwound fue considerada como la banda más representativa del sello discográfico Kill Rock Stars en la década de los 90s, ya que ninguna otra banda lanzó material por medio de este tanto como estas dos agrupaciones. (es) Unwound est un groupe de rock américain, originaire d'Olympia, dans l'État de Washington. Il est formé en 1991 et dissous en 2002. (fr) Unwound is an American post-hardcore band. The band was formed in 1988 in Tumwater and Olympia, Washington by vocalist/guitartist Justin Trosper, bassist Vern Rumsey and drummer Brandt Sandeno, and was largely based in Olympia throughout the 1990s until the band's dissolution in 2002. Unwound's best known lineup included Trosper, Rumsey and longtime drummer Sara Lund, who replaced Sandeno in 1992. Often classified as noise rock in addition to post-hardcore, Unwound played a sharply dissonant and angular style that made use of unusual guitar tones, and garnered attention locally for their relentless touring schedules, favour towards "all ages" venues and their strong DIY ethics. Unwound was largely associated with the independent record label Kill Rock Stars throughout the 1990s, with the band's debut album, Fake Train (1993), being the first non-spoken word release from the label. Unwound's wider stature grew with the release of the band's fifth and sixth studio albums Repetition (1996) and Challenge for a Civilised Society (1998), which saw the band experiment with their sound beyond noise rock. Kerrang! labelled Unwound as "one of the most prolific American underground bands of recent years" in 1998, however, unlike several of their contemporaries from the Pacific Northwest, Unwound failed to break into the mainstream during their existence, in part due to the band's strong DIY stance. Unwound's self-produced seventh album, Leaves Turn Inside You (2001), was the band's only double album, and saw the band stylistically shift into post-rock and avant-garde territory; it was critically acclaimed and later appeared on several best-of album lists of the 2000s. Following a disastrous U.S. tour in support of Leaves Turn Inside You, Unwound announced their disbandment in 2002, citing the bandmembers' geographical differences and Vern Rumsey's worsening alcoholism, caused by the stress of touring. Plans for a reunion were repeatedly brought up and shot down throughout the 2010s due to Rumsey's continuous health struggles, and ultimately never occurred before his death in August 2020. In July 2022, Trosper and Lund reformed Unwound for a 2023 tour in Rumsey's memory, with Jared Warren filing in on bass. Unwound has frequently been seen as one of the most influential bands of the 1990s, with The A.V. Club labelling Unwound as "the best band of the 90s" in 2013. Unwound spawned numerous side projects in the wake of their disbandment. (en) Gli Unwound sono stati un gruppo musicale post-hardcore statunitense attivo dal 1991 al 2002.
