Story of The Union Underground
Hailing from San Antonio, Texas, Union Underground exploded onto the nu-metal scene with a raw energy that quickly garnered attention. Founded by guitarist Bryan Scott and guitarist Patrick Kennison, who’d been making music together since junior high, the band built a solid foundation, independently selling 5,000 copies of their EP and generating enough buzz to catch the eye of Hollywood manager James Jeda. This led to a major label deal with Portrait Records, a Sony/Columbia imprint. Rounding out the lineup with drummer Josh Memolo and bassist John Moyer, Union Underground unleashed their debut album, ...An Education in Rebellion, in July 2000. The album, a potent blend of hard-hitting riffs and aggressive vocals, charted for four months, propelled by the hit single, "Turn Me On 'Mr. Deadman.'" Despite their initial success, the band ultimately dissolved in 2002. Their legacy, however, remains a significant chapter in the nu-metal genre's history.
