Every scene has a staple. A band or musician who have been around since what may seem like the very beginning.

For the hardcore scene in Johnson City, TN area that band is In Remembrance of Me, also known by their moniker, IROM.

IROM started in 2001 with Wes Baughman and Eric Rogers on guitar, Joey Metcalf on drums, John McMeen on bass, and Jacob Moore on vocals. Their overall sound combines hardcore with some elements of experimental rock as well. This sound obviously strays from the classic well-known hard hitting sound often associated with hardcore, giving them a unique edge.

The band self-released seven recordings from 2001 - 2006, before ultimately calling it quits.

"In 2007 we did our last tour, after that our other bands became more active," vocalist Jacob Moore said on the split of the band.

In October of this year, IROM came through with a reunion show that was nothing less than spectacular. You could tell how treasured they are by fans and bands local to the Johnson City area. Their reunion brought what felt like the entire hardcore scene back together for one big celebration, something the scene definitely needed.

"A the moment, we want to play and have fun," vocalist Jacob Moore said about the reunion, "Nothing will ever compare to having people sing along to music you and your friends have created."

While IROM's main focus is just enjoying themselves, they do plan on recording a few songs in the near future and have a couple of shows planned for early 2017.
