Irish band Skindive -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skindive

Really thought they were going to make it big. Odd one.

c - 13

Not as old as some bands on the thread but two that kind of surprised me by releasing one album and then dissapearing were Will Haven (Carpe Diem) and Mad at Gravity (Resonance) two strong first albums but just never went anywhere.

Cant provide links sorry, no youtube access from here.

I know that. But they did disappear after their initial success. Some of the other bands mentioned in this thread broke up too.

Was moving house recently, and when packing away I came across Sh*tloads of old tapes, so I thought A tread with forgotton bands would be an Idea: Ones that stood out for me was 'Pist.on : Number One' which is a great album although the follow up was terrible. Another Band which is worth Mentioning is 'Nocturnas' - anyone got any idea what these guys are doing lately??

pist on "number 1" great album still listen to it
shame they fell by the wayside
anyone remember Pyogensis

Thank Christ. I think this band had more possible mentally retarded members than Alien Ant Farm.

I've hated checkered shoes ever since.

****in' LOVED this band's album 'Start with a strong and persistant desire'. Broke up 6 months after it though. Man i F*CKIN' LOVED THEM, though they were like post 'Melon Collie' Smashing Pumpkins meets 'Vs' era Pearl Jam. Was going to catch them live but they broke up b4 the gig.

Front man was in a band after called Septembre or some **** which they ended up sounding like!

Wasted potential(sic)! :(:(:(

Think they released an absolute bomb so that's them wiped clean.

The Hurt Process

I liked the Hurt Process, lots of different members left and were replaced. They just split up then.

ADTR

I know what happened to those bands. Actually, I saw good reviews for Hondo Maclean's album back when they released it. They just broke up.

Still going ... and coming here no less. He is playing The Diamond Rock Club in the village of Ahoghill, just 4 miles from Ballymena and 9 miles from Antrim on 11 December!

Wow! Fair play to him,wonder if he's doing any DRN stuff?

Another band who broke up/disappeared and should've made it pretty big were these guys:

They were a great band,their album Standunder had some great tunes on it. Not sure if being labeled "the next guns n' roses" hindered them or their first big show being at Slane supporting GN'R was too much. I met Brendan(i think) from MLF at a Velvet Revolver gig in the ambassador last year and he said they were going to give it another go.

Sad to see these guys go.... I thought they'd go all the way!!

Wasnt a huge fan, but did think they would make it alot bigger!!!

Another Band that is Truly Missed...Is the Mighty Stampin' Ground - Amazing Band!!!!

Mini update on One Minute Silence their drummer Eddie (edwin Stratton) is now a "medicinal marijuana user that has refused a police caution for growing his own medication to alleviate his suffering and is seeking a Judicial Review of the Government's classification of cannabis, arguing they are incompatible with the European Human Rights Act and also the Misuse of Drug Act itself." More details here http://www.lca-uk.org/lcaforum/viewtopic.php?t=13316.

Also like most UK based bands they could only get so big and the Taste Media deal went sour AFAIK. There have been vague rumours of a reformation (see http://www.myspace.com/oneminutesilencefans)

You might think Stampin' Ground would be missed but the 100 people at their final show in London says otherwise (i.e. they were animal but no one was interested). Also Romeo Must Die are quite good and worth checking out live.

I really liked Sona Fariq and disappointed they never went further their album was stonking.

Ponyclub, great band from Finglas. "Family Business", their 2004 album was brilliant. Their current album "Post Romantic" is good too, but they don't seem to gig that much. A band that should have been huge imo.

(not exactly rock/metal, but some of those mentioned here aren't either, feel free to remove post if it's in the wrong section)

Undergod

Scheer, I think they were called. First album was really good 90s rock, second album got delayed for years, and they kinda dissolved I think.

yknaa

The Eagles. Oh, ah ... right, thought the thread was about Bands I wish had disappeared.

Bit like Ponyclub mentioned above The Would Bee's were top notch.
Thankfully Jason and the Scorchers were once lost and now found and returning in 2010 with a new album.

Graham from My Little Funhouse had some small success as Halite, didn't he?

He was in Therapy for a bit too but he's mostly been gigging with people like Snow Patrol and Glen Hansard in recent times.

Good to hear that. Picked up "Lost and Found" on eBay recently. Didn't realise some new stuff was forthcoming!!!!
