Unwound is a post-hardcore band hailing from Tumwater/Olympia, Washington, USA. Formed in July 1991, the band officially disbanded on April 1, 2002. Previously known as Giant Henry from 1988 to 1991.
Exciting news for fans came in July 2022 when Unwound announced their official reunion. The current lineup consists of Justin Trosper on guitar and vocals (1991-2002, 2022-present), keyboards and saxophone (1997-2002, 2022-present); Sara Lund on drums (1992-2002, 2022-present) and backing vocals (2000-2002); Jared Warren on bass; and Scott Seckington on guitar and keyboards.
The band has had former members who contributed significantly to their sound over the years. Vern Rumsey played bass (1991-2002) and keyboards (1997-2002) until his unfortunate passing in 2020. Brandt Sandeno was the drummer from 1991 to 1992 and also played keyboards from 2000 to 2001. David Scott Stone joined as a guitarist in 2001.

Unwound’s paranoid and pulsating sixth album, Challenge For a Civilized Society explores the pre-Y2K technological dread of modern punk living. Producer Steve Fisk threads Justin Trosper’s stabbing, discordant guitar in and around Sara Lund’s consolidated drum attack and Vern Rumsey’s relentless, throbbing bass. A vicious and sinister penultimate LP from the ’90s most misunderstood band.
