Unsane is a noise rock trio formed in 1988 in New York. The band consists of Chris Spencer, Vincent Signorelli, and Dave Curran. Originally, the lineup included Pete Shore and drummer Charlie Ondras, who tragically passed away in 1992. Unsane gained popularity with their hit song "Scrape" from their 1995 album. After announcing their permanent cessation in August 2019, Chris Spencer recently revealed a new lineup for Unsane NYC focused on performing their early material.

Unsane is a renowned noise rock trio that originated in New York City back in 1988. Comprising of talented musicians Chris Spencer, Vincent Signorelli, and Dave Curran, the band initially included Pete Shore and drummer Charlie Ondras until his unfortunate demise due to a drug overdose in 1992. Their breakthrough came with the widely acclaimed track "Scrape," which received extensive airplay on MTV and remains one of their biggest hits to date.

In August 2019, Unsane announced an indefinite hiatus; however, fans were delighted when frontman Chris Spencer unveiled a fresh lineup via the band's Instagram page on August 27th, 2021. Joining forces with new members Cooper and Jon Syverson, Unsane NYC will be dedicated to delivering powerful performances of the band's early material.

Improvised Munitions is the unreleased first Unsane album originally slated to be released in 1989 by Circuit Records. Following the band's approval of the test pressings, Circuit folded. A huge letdown at the time, Unsane managed to use a couple of tracks for singles and re-recorded some of the tracks to put on the first full length for Matador. Years went by when a rumour that someone actually had a copy of the test pressing. Unsane were able to copy and remaster it, and have included 4 tracks of the earliest Unsane material that Chris Spencer used to go around to clubs like CBGB's, ABC No Rio and the Pyramid to try to get shows before they had a record out.

Spencer states "for what it's worth, this is the very beginning of the band Unsane..." 11 tracks featuring the 7 songs from original concept of Improvised Munitions and 4 songs from a cassette demo. Additionally, the slide's for original artwork for Improvised Munitions created by original Unsane bassist Pete Shore and photographer Jens Jurgensen (also member of Boss Hog) has also been found, thus the fully original concept of this album has finally come to fruition.
