Antioch Arrow 2433054 222352355 2008-06-28T22:01:18Z BOT-Superzerocool 338065 robot Adding: [[it:Antioch Arrow]] '''Antioch Arrow''', from [[San Diego]], [[California]], was on the seminal [[Hardcore punk|hardcore]]/[[Hardcore Emo|emo]] label [[Gravity Records]], responsible for putting [[San Diego]] on the map in the mid-90's as one of the centers of the movement. Antioch Arrow used the fast and chaotic framework of [[hardcore punk]] to create songs that were at times melodic and at times indiscernible, but almost always curious and played at breakneck speed. Their calling card was surely their Vocalist [[Aaron Montaigne]]. Whether dramatic and theatrical or whispered or shrieked, his obtuse, stream-of-consciousness vocal delivery & lyrics forced an audience to react. They embarked on 3 different tours within the United States. The first was a week long tour of the West Coast in the spring of 1993. The second was a month long tour of the U.S., spanning late June to Early July 1993. The third and final tour was originally supposed to be for 6 weeks from early June to late July 1994. However, van troubles and inter-band conflict ended the tour in early July with the band canceling many shows across the Northwest. Their last show ever took place in a truck trailer in [[Boulder, Colorado]] around July 6, 1994. Antioch Arrow is arguably the first band ever to be referred to by the now common term, "[[screamo]]" and has become widely influential to a multitude of bands, including: [[Refused]], [[The Used]], [[The Locust]], [[The Blood Brothers]] and many more. ==Members== *Aaron Montaigne- Vocals *Mac Mann- Bass *Ron Avila (a.k.a. Ron Anarchy, a.k.a. Maxamillion Avila)- Drums *Jeff Winterberg- Guitar *Aaron Ricards- Guitar. (Ricards was later replaced by Andy Ward of the band [[Evergreen(band) |Evergreen]]).
