The long-running lineup was Justin Trosper (vocals, guitar), Vern Rumsey (bass; died 2020), and Sara Lund (drums). Closely tied to Olympia's Kill Rock Stars label and the broader Pacific Northwest underground, the band became one of the most respected and influential post-hardcore acts of the 1990s before disbanding in 2002. Their work has been extensively reissued and reappraised in subsequent decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnwound played post-hardcore and noise rock characterized by dissonant, angular guitar, dynamic tension, and raw emotional intensity. Their later work, especially the double album Leaves Turn Inside You, expanded into more textured, experimental and atmospheric territory, and is widely regarded as a landmark of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFake Train (1993, Kill Rock Stars)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Plastic Ideas (1994)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepetition (1996)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves Turn Inside You (2001)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnwound's catalog has been comprehensively reissued, notably through Numero Group's box sets and individual repressings, prized by post-hardcore and noise rock collectors.
