E.Town Concrete
American musical group; hardcore punk band
E.Town Concrete, or sometimes called E-Town, is an American hardcore punk band from Elizabeth, New Jersey.
History
They formed in 1995 and shortly thereafter released Time 2 Shine, their first full-length album, in 1999 on the Resurrection A.D. label. They have since released four more albums on various record labels, such as Razor & Tie and Ironbound Recordings. The band achieved considerable success throughout the early 2000's. In 2000 the band released their second album "The Second Coming,” which had a similar sound as Time 2 Shine, but pulled back on the intensity showcased in their debut. In 2003, the band dropped their most popular album to date "The Renaissance". To date this album has found the band the most success and has some of their most popular tracks such as "Mandibles and "Baptism." Around this time they started getting a lot of airplay on MTV2s "Headbangers Ball" for the songs "Punch The Wall" and "Mandibles." In 2004, the band played the festival Hellfest (American music festival) in Elizabeth, NJ which is their hometown. The band went on to release their last full length as of currently "Made For War" in 2004. The album was met with mixed reviews. The band broke up in 2006, playing their last show on May 20 of that year.
