Biography
EOTB hailed from Kansas City and played a brand of metalcore that was in vain of Undying, Endthisday, and Unearth. Heavy thrash with signiture guitar playing mixed in with melodic undertones and inspiring hooks.
The group formed in 2003, and had released a split and EP on Recorse Records (Winds of Plague, Love is Red). EOTBs live performance was more in the spirit of not taking things too serious, just having fun and jamming out and not knowing what is going to be said, or who is going to do what next. Whether it's drummer Scott Koelzer jumping up during a rest point in the middle of song to put his china cymbol stand at the front of the stage and handing a stick to a random fan to bang on for the rest of the song, Ryan Beye swinging his bass headstock right into the skull of vocalist Dustin Albright while he would ramble random things, gross things, and make fun of anything that is worth getting the crowd to laugh at in between songs, or replacing these types of gestures instead of using typical "mosh calls" that the peers in their genre would do.
The band split up in 2007 after being unable to keep the band leveled from occasional member fall outs, and unable to keep up in the dying genre they helped try to keep alive and legitimize for over 4 years. Some of their former members have since started new projects, or have gone into other established bands including new group "In the Grove", and SOAR's "Diskreet".
