City of Caterpillar

City of Caterpillar was the product of a collaboration between members of Kilara, pg99, Darkest Hour and later, Majority Rule. Hearing that, you'd expect nothing but scathing metallic hardcore, but City of Caterpillar infused this with a sinister, majestic beauty a'la Godspeed You Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky that had never been tried before. Songs built for 10 minutes to explode with breaking bottles to act as percussion.

In the beginning they did 2 full tours on only a demo. A split with friends System 2600 followed as did a 1-sided tour 7inch, both of which were released in batches of 300. City of Caterpillar really caught everyone's attention when their split with twisted siblings pg.99 was released.

For a time the band was on an extended hiatus with Brandon and Kevin both on tour nonstop with pg.99 and Ryan's commitment to then little known metal act known as Darkest Hour. All in all, all the members were together for the one week out of a 6 month period where their schedules meshed up and they recorded their sole LP. Shortly afterwords Ryan was replaced by Pat from Majority Rule when Ryan could no longer commit to touring, and they hit the road again and even toured Japan with label mates Envy and Hot Cross.

Upon returning home, City of Caterpillar did a week in Canada with Strike Anywhere before mounting personal conflicts caused them to disband.
