About Me

Rhino Charge started off as a two peice power violence band with Matt on Guitar and Ryan on drums/vocals, with the sole purpose of crashing shows that we didnt belong at. Our first show was played the same day that the band was formed, but Matt's amp was unplugged in the middle of the third song and Rhino Charge was not-so-kindly asked to leave. Yes, we were that good. Later on we decided to become more of a serious band so we enlisted long time friend Bjorn Hooper to be our permanent vocalist. After playing shows every weekend, our first 7'' (now oop) came out sometime in November on To Live a Lie Records. A few months later, Los Angeles based Go! Records put out our split 7'' with Milwaukee crustcore bros Protestant (oop but still available). It was around this time that the 7'' s/t on To Live a Lie records was repressed. 500 more copies became available, we had a split 7'', played live on the radio, and played with lots of awesome bands, but something was still missing...a west coast tour. In the summer of 2006, our best friends PROTESTANT came out from the midwest, and we embarked on a 6 day tour through Arizona and California. The tour was awesome, we played with lots of rad bands and made lots of great friends. Despite the greatness of the tour, the band decided to call it a day. Two weeks later we played our final show at the workmens circle in LA with weekend nachos, in disgust, positive reinforcement, and blank stare.Discography: 1st demo 50 3'' cds w/ handmade burlap covers. then a couple hundred regular sized cds. 2nd Demo: self released, featured songs off s/t 7'' and 2 unreleased songs. 1-200? 1 self released 3'' split sampler cd w/Protestant S/T one sided 7" on To Live a Lie Records (first press = 200 clear/300 marble. 2nd Press = 500 Cranberry) 26 self released cdr copies of 7''. these were spray painted and packaged like 7''s. Split 7'' w/Protestant on Go! records (100 on white with screened cloth covers. 400 on black vinyl) Short, Fast, and Loud! teen beat compilation...featured songs recorded live on the radio. comes with issue 16 Discography Tape. Released in Indonesia...i dont know how many of these were made. i dont even have a copy. We also had an long interview in the final issue of HEARTATTACK and a short interview in issue number 15 of SHORT, FAST, AND LOUD!.."forgiveness only gives a second chance for you to misjudge".."life is a life lived".. width="425" height="350" ..Live at workmens Circle. 12/30/05 Ryan Charge's 20th birthday/No Noise!'s last show!

Sounds Like:"a sludgier, simplified UTTER BASTARD comes to mind the most, but yeah this is straight up classic P.V. at it's finest."- Seanocide for Violence Zine"Some of it reminds me of a metal Charles Bronson, haha."- Tiger Uppercut" High energy power violence that would make Slap-a-Ham cry with joy. Throw the sludgey parts of Grief into a stew with the spastic parts of Crossed Out. This is so crucial and such a refreshing sound. For fans of Sloth, Apartment 213, No Comment, Discordance Axis, and a other very unrelated but classy music.
