    Yep, that's my old band, formerly known as Formicide.  Glad to hear
    they are doing well though I guess they dropped all the Form. material. 
    I have no idea what they sound like now...
    
    

    
    What????  Formicide????  I thought they turned into Terrisphere,you
    Frank Sasha then I take it? Not that Frank is cool or anything but if
    you were in Formicide you should know him right?
    
    Tell me what did Frank play???
    
    Also if Frank is in Only Living Witness what the hell does Josha do???
    
    And anouther thing they are a Lowell band  (Lowell Police will pay!!!)
    
    I dont know if your talking about the same band...Please reply...

    When I was in the band, it was Kevin Stevenson on guitar, Roy Costa on
    bass, Steve (I forget his last name)on vocals and me on drums (Rob).  I
    was replaced by Kevin's brother Eric (who I also originally replaced because
    of differences between the two that were laster resolved).  Somewhere
    down the road, they added another guitarist (Craig I think?).  Then
    they broke up.  Then they reformed as Only Living Witness with a new
    singer (apparently Steve has married and moved out to CA).  As of now,
    I have NO CLUE who the hell is in it anymore, but last I heard, it was
    still Kevin and his brother.  Roy and I did something on the side very
    briefly somewhere along the way.  I'm not sure where they are based
    these days, but Lowell sounds about right.  Kevin was from Tewksbury,
    Roy and Steve from Billrica, Kevin went to U Lowell and has been
    directing musicals at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium occasionally.  I'm
    kind of out of touch right now, but talk to Kevin occasionally (he's
    been hard to track down).
    
    Cheers, Rob

    Thank you for replying and I would like to make a correction to my own
    reply:
             I said josha and meant to type Joena...
    
    I was taking to Joena at Keglers Den in Nashua N.H. and he said they 
    might get some C.D.s out...
    
    nice bid Pete
    
    

>   I got kicked out of U Lowell.

    FWIW...
    
    Just talked to the old singer for Formicide, Steve Rapucci.  He is now
    living in Derry, NH *he was in LV, not CA), Kevin is in some band
    called something like boing, boing or fish, fish or blender, blender... 
    well, you get the idea.  Roy is doing nothing, Steve is doing nothing. 
    The only Formicide guy in Only Living Witness that's left is the
    drummer Eric Stevenson (Kevin's brother).
    

    Only Living Witness History.
    
     Only Living Witness was formed from the ashes of Formicide and 
    Blind Surgeon. The original line up consisted of Eric Stevenson
    on drums, Kevin Stevenson on guitar, Roy Costa on bass and Jonha 
    Jenkins (Blind Surgeon) singing. The band recoreded a four song 
    demo which included at least one unreleased Formicide song, I 
    believe it was "Dying System". After that was released I think
    Roy left the band on good terms. Kevin left shortly after I 
    believe he wanted to spend more time with his other project,
    Duck Duck. The remaining members re-released the demo minus
    one song, I believe it was "C.O.P." The re-release was available
    on vinal only. Shortly after this Chris Crowley ( formerly of 
    Deslok ) joined O.L.W. playing bass. Around the same time, Craig
    Silverman ( formerly of Scarecine ) started playing with them.
    This is the current lineup, and from what I hear it is the permanent
    lineup. This foursome just released a four song demo called "Prone
    Mortal Form". Shortly after this O.L.W. was signed to Century Media
    and is expecting a record out sometime in May. 
     I saw these guys at the Paradise last month with the Cro Mags and 
    they were nothing short of amazing. A must see live.
      

    
    thanks.  you know more about whats going on with everybody than i do!!
    i hope that 'liars den' subject wasn't directed at me.  another
    interesting tidbet:  before formicide was called that, the original
    name was ELEVEN, (long story) though they never played anywhere under
    that name.  a demo was done at WEST in londonderry (the same place as
    formicide's 1st demo), but was never mixed down amd the master was
    shortly erased there after due to lack of funds and dying interests.  
    
    cheers, rob
    

    
    wait a sec, i didnt know about the blind surgeon aspect.  was scott
    king the drummer for that band?
    
    

    
    
     C.O.P. Corruption of power. ya thats the name of the album..
    
    
    That crazy Head-spin kid again?:Pete
    
    

    I think these guys play at some old theatre(a hole in the wall) in
    Manchester NH. The place is called the Empire theatre. All the hardcore
    bands play at this place. One of them is a couple of friends of mines
    band (Dry Bones).
    
                             stig

    
    actually, its not that bad of a place.  yeah it's old, but hardly a
    hole in the wall.  
    

    I saw these guys Friday night. They were excellent....

    Are they sorta thrashy? I think I heard of them before.

    Yeah, they are thrashy.  They sound like they really have it together.  
    They just got back from a European tour....
