Envenomed (Cincinnati 2000's crust)

 

 

 

 

ENVENOMED was crust punk/grind around from 2002-2006(07?).  They had a self-released tape demo and a 7" on Torture Garden.  Might have been on some compilations, too.  Members included Diamond Doug (Saretsky) on guitar and vocals, Trevor Payne on drums, Isaac Rethy (original bassist), and Francis Pospisil (bass and vocals).  A number of people (or maybe just me, hah!) discovered ANTI-CIMEX through their cover of "War Machine" (which was spot-on!!).  The crust punk scene in Cincy was pretty small back then, unlike now.

Truly THE MOTHERLODE of live Cincinnati music footage...

 

George Forste of IDGF Productions has been videotaping local punk rock, hardcore, metal, indie, emo, and other bands for decades.  His channel on youtube and the one on vimeo are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!  There is, no joke, over a thousand videos.  He has some of the only archival footage that exists for A LOT of bands... and even has me doing experimental noise too loud at a pizza place/bar/venue and getting kicked off the stage.
