Unrestrained is 5 dudes from Vermont (and Boston, and Maine) who fucking love playing hardcore. Our first album "Appleseeds" is out now on Bloody Knuckles Records. We've come from many different bands including (but not limited to) My Revenge!, Dog Days, Cash Crop, Spies in America, and many others.
this is the coolest thing anyone's ever said about us:
"Unrestrained continually and consistently blow me away every time I see them. They are an unleashed force when playing live. The whole fucking band goes off - it's really impressive and inspiring and it takes so much for a hardcore band to impress me and get my attention these days.
Unrestrained definitely get your attention and there is never a dull, uneventful, or boring moment throughout the entirety of their live set. The more I see them, the more I like the music, what they have to say, their performance, etc...I honestly can't think of a band in hardcore nowadays that I like better than Unrestrained.
They embody everything I would look for in a hardcore band: super intense fast parts, energetic breakdowns that contrast well with the fast parts, depth, conviction and sincerity in their lyrics and what they say in between songs, and they ALL move around, not just Ryan, the whole fucking band goes beserk. It's a chaotic spectacle of relentless energy, power and heartfelt passion-driven hardcore. Most importantly, Unrestrained are still PUNK. That's the most endearing component about them to me. They're still a punk band. There is nothing contrived about them. Nothing is pre-planned or choreographed out. They don't give a fuck about looking good, trends, popularity, status or "having hooks" and glossiness to them. They are raw, in-your-face and on the same level as the audience. No rock fantasies or ego's, just punks bleeding their hearts and souls out sharing their love for this with the audience.
That deserves limitless respect in my book. "
