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.

An album Maximum Rock 'N' Roll deemed not punk enough to review, Unwound's 1994 sophomore effort was a lethal depth charge aimed at major label grunge and independent hardcore alike. From the off-kilter, vertiginous rhythm of "Entirely Different Matters" to the neck-snapping velocity of "What Was Wound" to the relentless pounding at the end of "All Souls Day," New Plastic Ideas is the Sonic Youth-loving older sister to Fake Train's post-punk-obsessed little brother.
