Formed in 2002, RSJ set about constructing heavy noise metal that would not only destroy even the most hardened of eardrums but also annihilate any stage that would be naive enough to take them.

Gone but not forgotten ...
Unsung Hero is a five-piece unit that has applied itself to creating music that exemplifies the kind of humanity, honesty and intensity that makes the current UK rock underground continually vital. Unfortunately Unsung Hero decided to call it a day in early 2006.
Hailing from Nottingham,UK, the five members of ownworstenemy came together from various other local bands in late 2003 to form the current line up.
Drawing influences from all corners of the alternative / metal scene, they have created their own unique sound, with crushing guitars overlaying pounding, almost tribal rhythms, and Tim's versatile vocals weaving between melody and growls with devastating intensity. Unfortunately in early 2006 Own Worst Enemy decided to call it a day.
