Made up of Blake Schwarzenbach (Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil), Kevin Mahon (Against Me), and Michelle Proffit (who replaced original bassist Caroline Paquita), Forgetters formed 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. ~ Gregory Heaney
