Forgetters

Made up of Blake Schwarzenbach (Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil), Kevin Mahon (Against Me), and Michelle Proffit (who replaced original bassist Caroline Paquita), Forgetters formed up in 2009 after Schwarzenbach's short-lived band, the Thorns of Life dissolved after just a year together. Playing post-hardcore in the classic tradition, the band finds Schwarzenbach returning to the sound he helped pioneer as a member of his other wildly influential bands, melding tension with melody as the band revisits the classic sound of the '90s. Forgetters made their debut in 2010 with a self-titled EP on their own label, Too Small to Fail. A self-titled full-length effort, produced by fellow post-hardcore luminary J. Robbins, followed on the label in 2012.
