History
1998
Calico System was formed by group of friends in the fall of 1998. With the help of the apartment junkies they came up with their name. The quartet take a variety of different elements from metal and hardcore and fuse them with emo, groove, punk and various other genres.
After solidifying their line-up, they have gone on to independently release two EPs and complete several independent tours. They have also gained supporting spots for such bands as Hatebreed, Poison the Well, Open Hand, Hopesfall, Finger Eleven, Candiria, Sworn Enemy, Codeseven, dredg, Chiodos, Love Hate Hero, Mutter, and many others.
The continuous touring seemed to pay off, gaining them a spot on Eulogy Records where they would release their first LP, 'The Duplicated Memory".

Why this record matters
The phrase “american metalcore band” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5019878. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1998 and 2007.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
