The Unseen
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The Unseen
The Unseen are a punk rock band that were formed in 1994 in Hingham, Massachusetts. Originally their lead singer was the star hockey player of their Hingham High School team, Marc Carlson. After he left the band they played as a four piece (see members). The Unseen originally started to perform under the name, 'The Extinct'.
The street punk quintet released their best-of compilation [[Totally Unseen: The Best Of The Unseen]] (Step One Records [England]) — which contains two previously unreleased tracks in June 2000. In the fall of 2004 The Unseen signed with HellCat Records. Mark Unseen , the lead singer, formed and currently runs ADD Records. He also joined the punk band A Global Threat as second lead singer, and recorded the full length "What the Fuck Will Change?" but later left to concentrate his efforts on The Unseen. For the release of their 2001 Album The Anger And the Truth "Chainsaw" re-accompanied the band in the studio to recorded the song No Evacuation (due to the fact that he was the original writer of the song). There has been much controversy reguarding the band and them becoming a "sell out" band. Many use the bands relationship with Benji of Good Charlotte, and among other things to support this. They have toured Europe, the United States, Japan, and parts of Mexico with many punk heavyweights. Since the departure of their rhythm guitarist Paul, the band has used many replacements on tour such as members from The Virus, Strike Anywhere, and F-Minus, however, as of yet none have joined the band permanently.
