Frodus
Frodus (a.k.a. Frodus Conglomerate International, Frodus Sound Laboratories, FCI, Frodus Escape Plan, Frodus Deposit Insurance Corporation) was an American post-hardcore band formed in 1993 in Washington, D.C. by vocalist/guitarist Shelby Cinca and drummer Jason Hamacher. The band went through numerous bassists over the course of their career. Their mixture of math rock and hardcore punk plus their lyrical themes, frequently dark and dissonant and seen as esoteric for the time, led them to be described by critics as one of the most influential post-hardcore bands of the 1990s. Biography Existence (1993-1999) Frodus' first releases were self-distributed cassettes and 7 inches, such as ''Babe'', ''Tzo-Boy'', and '' Molotov Cocktail Party''. Two other releases (''Fireflies'' and ''F-Letter''), on now defunct indie labels, followed. Frodus later signed with Tooth & Nail Records, an independent label out of Seattle, with whom they released ''Conglomerate International'' in 1 ...

And We Washed Our Weapons In The Sea
''And We Washed Our Weapons in the Sea'' is the fifth and final studio album by American post-hardcore band Frodus, which was released posthumously in 2001. The album received very positive feedback from critics and fans alike, and is considered as the band's best effort. Background The album was completed in 1999, and was recorded in a few months at Salad Days Studio. The band disbanded around that time and decided to make the record their last. However, due to struggles finding a proper label to release the record, its release-date was held back. During 2000, tracks from the album would leak onto file-sharing networks, such as Napster. The disc was intended to be released through MIA-Records, but the label shut down due to lawsuits the owner was dealing with at the time. It was not until Tony Weinbender, a long-time-friend of the band, signed them to Fueled by Ramen, that helped them release the record in early 2001. The album is dedicated to Alanna Alindogan.
