For Whom The Proggy Bell Tolls: The Boy Will Drown

Filed Under: For Whom The Bell Tolls, Prog-Metal March
Mar.04, 2011

So. Bands break up. It sucks, but that’s the way of things. For most of them, the reason is pure and simple; on some level, they suck. Whether it’s only a little, or harder than a $20 hooker, it doesn’t matter; the world doesn’t lose a whole bunch. The members go on with their lives, and probably go on to make a greater impact in other areas of society.

Then there are bands that are forced into submission for other reasons: money, conflict – both personal and artistic – or sometimes the fanbase only comes after they’re long gone.

This is a chronicle of those bands. Most you will not have heard of, for the very reason that they’re not even around to promote themselves any more. But trust me, they are bands that you really really should have heard of.

This week is a little sore, as these guys only parted ways last week. It’s The Boy Will Drown.

You hungry? Or recently dead? Oh lawd: Funeral Diner.

I know I have a penchant for melodic hardcore bands, but damn, so many good ones have broken up over the past few years it’s untrue. Funeral Diner, from Half Moon Bay CA were active from 1998 until about two years ago.
