About Me

The Procedure formed in central New Jersey in 2001 as a group of five friends wanting to express themselves musically, socially, and intellectually in the local hardcore scene. With a wide diversity of tastes (ranging from indie to black metal and everywhere in between) The Procedure have created a unique musical amalgam. The songs may conjure thoughts that range from the technicality of bands like Shai Hulud and Cave In, the addictive sing alongs of bands like Ensign and The Hope Conspiracy, and the haunting melodies of bands like Sensefield and Thursday.
The band took a year-long hiatus in 2004 and reformed in early 2005 to record the LP 'Shift Pacific' and began performing again. The Procedure plans to continue writing, recording, and performing and hopes to be a lasting influence in the New Jersey scene.
The Procedure thanks you for everything.
