[edit] History
The Unknown Soldiers started out their days as a 2-piece Pop-Punk garage rock outfit. The only members were Noodles on guitar and a nameless drummer. They were known under the name "East 12th Street". They drew influences from Green Day and the Eels. Later in early 2006 due to bitter feelings and creative differences the band split up. Later in mid-2006 Noodles ran into MacKaye and recruited him and his brother. After going through numerous style changes and Name changes (once they almost decided on post-punk New Wave) the settled on the name Unknown Soldiers and decided to play fast, furious punk rock. They have made 4 demos tapes (and Lost them) with 4 upcoming singles to be released. They are currently in the middle of recording a 40 song debut album entitled "Mouse Park". They recently changed their line-up (again) consisting of an actual singer and a new (Grindcore influenced) dummer.
In 2008 due to tension, pressure, and really not being able to rehearse together, The Unknown Soldiers split up. Noodles went on to pursue music further in The Weathermen, Deep Blue Day, xYAWNx (Man Shut Up), The Purple Flaming Christ as well as founding a record label, Blind Fish Records.
As of 2010 they are considering getting back together as an experimental Grindcore band (in the veins of HeWhoCorrupts, Man is the Bastard, Combatwoundedveteran) to release an album on Ben's newly founded record label. Ben is the only member on board, new members will be found for the revival. The revival will continue the recording of Mouse Park, which will drastically alter the sound, and lyrics of the original.
