Undertow was a straight edge hardcore punk and metalcore band from Seattle, Washington, active from 1991 to 2004. They released material on Indecision Records, Bloodlink Records, Excursion Records, and Overkill Records. Indecision Records released a comprehensive discography entitled Everything, which contains 28 tracks spanning Undertow's entire active period with John Pettibone on vocals.[1] RevHQ described them as "founding fathers of Seattle straight edge".[2]
Undertow formed in Seattle as part of the early straight edge hardcore scene. They released several demos, vinyls, and full-length recordings, including splits with Resolution and Struggle. Their music combined aggressive hardcore punk with elements of metalcore, influencing other Seattle straight edge bands in the 1990s.[1]
