The Union Underground was a nu metal/industrial rock band based out of San Antonio, Texas, USA. Original band members included Bryan Scott, Patrick Kennison, Josh Memelo, and John Moyer.

History

Introduction

The Union Underground was created by Bryan Scott (vocals) and Patrick Kennison (guitar). The name was borrowed from their recording studio which they called "Studio Underground". They were later joined by Josh Memelo (drums) and John Moyer (bass guitar). The Union Underground sold more than 5,000 copies of their self-recorded/produced EP and were noticed by a Columbia A&R exec, John Weakland, who later signed them to Columbia Records. Soon, The Union Underground was performing at the 2001 Ozzfest and other venues worldwide.

The band released their debut and only studio album "...An Education In Rebellion" on July 18 2000. The album sold nearly 400,000 copies with hit singles including "Turn Me On Mr. Deadman", "Revolution Man", and "Killing The Fly".

In March 2002, The Union Underground released the song "Across the Nation" which was used by World Wrestling Entertainment as the theme song for their "RAW" brand until October 2006. Following the song's release, it earned extensive airplay nationwide.

On June 25, 2002, the band released "Live...One Nation Underground", a compilation of live performances

Update

Patrick Kennison is now working with the band [http://www.heavenbelow.net/ Heaven Below] , John Moyer is now playing bass for the band Disturbed, Josh Memelo has since had a child and Bryan Scott is currently working on a solo project named Cult To Follow. In a message received from Patrick Kennison via his band Heaven Below's Myspace page (received on August 8th 2008), he said any rumors of a Union Underground reunion are all false, and from what he said, there will never be a reunion of all original members. However, he did say that he, John and Josh still talk, and that an idea of some sort of collaboration has been tossed around between the three, but there is nothing set in stone as of yet.
