Undergang

UNDERGANG was formed in 1996 and performed for a few years, before going on indetermined hiatus. Reforming in 2004, the group started writing new material. During 2006 they recorded their songs from the mid-90s plus several new compositions, and to date have released three other compact discs. Being the product of a number of past and present local Syracuse original bands, members each bring their diverse ideas to a creative process that puts forth a stately and steadfast barrage of melodious chaos from within. 1996-98: ALAN SMEAD: vocals/keyboard.
