Unsane is a noise rock trio formed in 1988 in New York. The band consists of Chris Spencer, Vincent Signorelli, and Dave Curran. Originally, the lineup included Pete Shore and drummer Charlie Ondras, who tragically passed away in 1992. Unsane gained popularity with their hit song "Scrape" from their 1995 album. After announcing their permanent cessation in August 2019, Chris Spencer recently revealed a new lineup for Unsane NYC focused on performing their early material.

Unsane is a renowned noise rock trio that originated in New York City back in 1988. Comprising of talented musicians Chris Spencer, Vincent Signorelli, and Dave Curran, the band initially included Pete Shore and drummer Charlie Ondras until his unfortunate demise due to a drug overdose in 1992. Their breakthrough came with the widely acclaimed track "Scrape," which received extensive airplay on MTV and remains one of their biggest hits to date.

In August 2019, Unsane announced an indefinite hiatus; however, fans were delighted when frontman Chris Spencer unveiled a fresh lineup via the band's Instagram page on August 27th, 2021. Joining forces with new members Cooper and Jon Syverson, Unsane NYC will be dedicated to delivering powerful performances of the band's early material.

By 1991 Unsane had perfected a unique "extreme" sound that established them as an important part of the NYC noise scene. With a couple singles and an unreleased 12" EP ("Improvised Munitions" eventually released in 2020), vocalist and guitarist Chris Spencer explains "We got offered a CBGB's show with Sonic Youth, although we were playing the graveyard slot which meant that we were to play after them. They played a crazy, super-long set and almost everyone had left as it was past 2 am, but of the 10 or 12 people still there, Gerard Cosloy from Matador [Records] had stayed. He offered us a deal that night." Decades after it's initial release, it's impossible to deny or underestimate the musical evolution of the 90's without including Unsane. Combining abrasive noise-rock with corrosive and powerful distorted vocals, furious pulsations of bass and drums, Unsane had broken down the doors of noise-rock for the 90's.
