Fence 52

The history of Fence 52 start in 1999, when 3 members of the skatepunk band Scorch decide to start a new band. At the beginning the band is called Fence, but soon after they added the number 52. They complete the band with one of their friend and start to play music, at the very beginning they were supposed to do Foo-Fighter's similar stuff, but they change quickly to some Pennywise songs and start to listen to more and more skatepunk bands, which will influence their style as they continue to evolve as a band. After a few shitty demos and member changes, the band finally record a 3-song demo in 2000 that is sounding pretty good. Those same 3 songs will also appear on a split tape with the band Scorch. Fence 52 will continue making gigs and improving their skills, while recordind some demos. Their final release will be a split with AGNFAB and Skumdum, and the band will disband not long after. 2 members will then start another skatepunk band, Steamboat Rally.

Loose End

Loose End was a Christian punk rock band from Chula Vista, California. Their story started in 1999, when the five members were into that Christian punk style that was getting pretty popular in these years (Slick Shoes, Mxpx, Sick Of Change, Dogwood, etc.) In 2003 the band stopped but fortunately during their existence they left for us an album in 2001 which is amazing.

Standstill

Standstill was a skatepunk band from the state of Maryland, that had a very short existence. The reason why I know them is that I was lucky enough to find their mp3.com page back in the days and download the 2 songs they were sharing. The guys had a lot potential, there is no surprises that 2 members later went to play in 2 very big Hardcore bands : Champion and Pulling Teeth. As for Standstill, it was good skatepunk the way it's meant to be! I dont have more infos about them, but I know they released a 4-song demo in 2001.

Fat Chance

Here's a very particular punk band that comes from Ontario, Canada. The guys started in early 90's, and where influenced by this fast epitaph/fat style. What is particular with Fat Chance is that they added keyboards to their songs, and the result is amazing! The songs can be described as fast and technical progressive punk, and are very original and well built. I dont know any other band that did the same with keyboards. The band is now defunct but some members started another similar project called Hypercricket, which is really worth checking out too!

General Purpose

General Purpose is a skatepunk band from Glendora, California. They started somewhere in the mid-90's when the guys attented high school. After a couple of contests, trips and shows the guys released a 15-song CD which helped them to get known and have the chance to play at the big venues in Los Angeles. Unfortunately the band don't seem to be very active since many years, but I think they're still together.
