THE UNION UNDERGROUND

The Union Underground is an American Rock/Metal band based in Texas. On July 18, 2000, the band released their debut album "...An Education In Rebellion" on Columbia Records, featuring the hit singles Turn Me On Mr. Deadman, Revolution Man and Killing The Fly. The disc spent four months on the charts and the track "Turn Me On 'Mr. Deadman'" was on the mainstream rock charts for six months. The band toured relentlessly in support of the album with bands such as Disturbed, Marilyn Manson, Linkin Park, Slikpknot, etc., and landed a spot on the esteemed Ozzfest tour 2001. The Union Underground's next recording was the track "Across the Nation," heard on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) various-artists album Forced Entry, released in March 2002. The song earned the band another extended stay on the mainstream rock charts and was the theme song for the WWE Raw show for many years. The band and Bryan Scott (as producer) both received a Gold certified album for their contribution to the 2002 compilation. In June 2002, they released "Live...One Nation Underground", a six-track EP containing songs recorded live in concert during the previous two years of touring. The band is currently in the studio working on new material for an upcoming release.

SPINESHANK

Formed in 1996 in Los Angeles, Spineshank exploded onto the late 90’s Metal scene with their 1998 Roadrunner debut Strictly Diesel, and quickly built a rabid underground following, hitting the road alongside current and future luminaries like Sepultura, System of A Down, Fear Factory, Biohazard, and Static-X.

Known for their fusion of industrial metal, alternative metal, and nu-metal elements, Spineshank gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s as part of the emerging wave of heavy music influenced by electronic textures and aggressive rhythms. Known for their emotionally charged compositions and intense live performances, Spineshank left a lasting impact on the metal scene, blending heavy riffs, electronic undertones, and introspective lyrics to craft a distinctive sound that has resonated with fans worldwide for over 30 years.

Their sophomore effort, 2000’s The Height of Callousness (2000), Produced by Garth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Mudvayne) marked a turning point into a more polished and aggressive sound, leading to critical acclaim and wider exposure, with tracks like "Synthetic" and "New Disease," quickly turning the band into a staple of the nu-metal era. Spineshank joined the ranks of Ozzfest 2001 and toured alongside a who’s who of modern Metal greats including Slipknot, Linkin Park, Type O Negative, Mudvayne, and more.

In 2003, Spineshank released Self-Destructive Pattern, which included the Grammy-nominated single "Smothered." Despite their success, internal tensions led to the departure of vocalist Jonny Santos in 2004, who formed SILENT CIVILIAN, and the band went on hiatus shortly after. Santos eventually returned, and Spineshank reunited in 2008, releasing their fourth and final album, Anger Denial Acceptance, in 2012.

In 2023 Santos and Decker announced the forming of a new project, The Less Dead, which led to further speculation about the future of Spineshank.

Now in 2025, Hell has indeed frozen over, as Spineshank returns with a revamped lineup featuring original members Jonny Santos, Rob Garcia, and Tommy Decker, along with new recruits Tommy Decker, Jr. (Guitar) and Jason Hager (ex-Chimaira - Guitar) to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their landmark release The Height of Callousness.

“We are beyond excited to be able to celebrate 25 years of The Height of Callousness. This is the record that defined us as a band and changed our lives. We can’t wait to play all of these songs and share the memories with all of you who lived it with us.” -Tommy Decker

"We are extremely excited to celebrate the return of SpineShank for the 25th anniversary of The Height of Callousness tour, and get to share this milestone with the people who were there back then, and the new fans that never got the chance to see us play. Truly an honor!!! " – Jonny Santos

“It’s amazing that 25 years later people still react to The Height of Callousness the way they do. We’re excited to get out and play these songs again, see old friends, and throw down for all the new fans who never got to see Spineshank the first time around!” – Rob Garcia

Their upcoming album, “The Absence Of Self” (slated for a 2025 release), promises to be a game-changer, featuring cutting-edge vocal production and a high-profile collaboration with Jonny Santos of Spineshank and Silent Civilian fame.
