Cave In, London

Cave In biography

Cave In is an American rock band formed in 1995 in Methuen, Massachusetts. The band was originally formed by vocalist Jay Frechette and vocalist/guitarist Stephen Brodsky. They named themselves Cave In as a reference to the Codeine song Cave-In. The initial lineup also included guitarist Adam McGrath, drummer John-Robert Conners, and bassist Justin Matthes. Their first release was a self-titled 7" on Aaron Turner's Hydra Head Records. Matthes would leave the band in 1997 and his replacement, Andy Kyte, would also leave the following year. Frechette also left the band in 1997 in order to join Ten Yard Fight full time after touring with them for a month. Dave Scrod joined as their new vocalist but left the band in 1998, two weeks before the band was scheduled to begin recording their debut full-length album. Brodsky took on lead vocals and Caleb Scofield joined as their new bassist. Brodsky, McGrath, Conners, and Scofield then became their permanent lineup. Their debut album Until Your Heart Stops was released in 1998 and followed by extensive touring. On January 2, 2019, Cave In announced plans to release their first studio album in eight years. This album was released as Final Transmission on June 7, 2019 through Hydra Head Records. Mixed by Andrew Schneider, mastered by James Plotkin, and with artwork by Aaron Turner, it consists of practice-space demos featuring Scofield on every song. Hydra Head has been mostly inactive since 2012 but, as the band's main home for the majority of its career, they worked together to release this album. Half of the proceeds will be given to his wife and children.
