formed in 1989 by Eric Stevenson and Jonah Jenkins.
Eric had played in the Boston area thrash metal band FORMICIDE. Jonah was a big fan, and had met them while working with friends on a local fanzine, LOOK AGAIN.
Eric recruited his brother Kevin, and bass player Roy Costa, both original members of Formicide .
Early practices and song writing resulted in many 4-track recordings...but the band's first studio recording took place in 1989, with Bruce Bennett, at Kashmir Studio, in Wilmington, MA.
This first recording resulted in the 1990 eponymous 4 song cassette.
3 songs of this were released on 7" vinyl, in a limited pressing of 1000 copies, by Dan McNamara, on the zine related label: LOOK AGAIN RECORDS. This was the only music released by LOOK AGAIN.
A second demo was recorded in 1991, with the songs "Liar's Den", "Meantime", and "Oblivion." This was recorded live to two-track, but the engineer recorded a broken speaker in the guitar cabinet, so the recording was never released, and the songs were dropped from the live set, with the exit of Kevin and Roy the same year, due to creative differences.
Two other songs from this period were played live, but never recorded in a studio, "Find Me Blind and Bound" and "Lung Black". One live bootleg of the band playing at the Raathskellar in 1990 exists, which includes these two songs.
Soon after the departure of Roy and Kevin, Chris Crowley and Craig Silverman (also a one time member of Formicide) were recruited to play bass and guitar respectively.
In 1992, a third, 5 song demo was recorded, "Prone Mortal Form". This demo included one ambient instrumental track that was never released otherwise, "Window 4:45".
Between 1989 and 1992 the band opened for bands such as Corrosion of Conformity, Slap Shot, Leeway, Sheer Terror, Prong, Starkweather, and playing with local bands such as Overcast, Dive, SEKA, Sam Black Church and dozens more.

I really wish I had been there. Huge Montreal fan of your music for over 10 years, and Formicide as well. If I was rich I'd come to Holland to see you at the end of August. Please reunite every now and then, people need you to not die!
ONLY LIVING WITNESS has been confirmed for the first edition of the Loud From The South festival, set to take place Saturday, August 30 at the Klokgebouw (near train station Eindhoven-Beukenlaan) in Eindhoven, Holland. Also scheduled to appear are SOULFLY, CARCASS, LAAZ ROCKIT and SABBAT, among others.
Actually, I was up all night trying to figure out what to wear for the second show. I laid out several different outfits and just couldn't decide. After hours and hours of debilitating anxiety over what to wear, I picked the same outfit from the week before. Damn!
holy shit. I literally pulled every muscle in my body and actually almost sharted twice last night. That was amazing and much appreciated. you guys are and always have been brilliant beyond measure. since day one from tewksbury here. meant ALOT to see you again.
you guys were so full of energy and played such a good show last night. It's like you never left...what a great couple of weeks!! Now I can get some real sleep. HA
i just gotta say last nights show was the fucking best show i've seen all year (in a long time for that matter). so amazing, this band is and will be sorely missed. tightest live band i've seen in a long time. thanks for coming back!
