Long Underwear Bands

The first band I had ever heard of named after Long Underwear, was the short-lived Unionsuit. This New England group from Boston, Mass consisted of four performers: Matt Firestone (vocals), Aaron Turner (guitar), Michael Poorman (drums), and Josh English (bass). The metalcore band existed for a scant two years before disbanding. They performed from the winter of 1996 to late spring,1998. Except for a demo consisting of five songs, the boys made just one known album, Accidents Happened. It was released in the U.S. in 1997 with three songs under the label, by Second Nature Recordings.

Unionsuit played live, mostly in Boston but occasionally 

were found performing in Providence, RI and Montreal, Canada. After only 18 months, Unionsuit disbanded, 

never developing much of a fan base. 

Reportedly, their final show was at a music festival in Northhampton.

There is no evidence they ever performed in their namesake, wearing only their union suits or any other type of long underwear. But what a name for a Long Underwear Band.
