Moments Before Oblivion

Moments Before Oblivion is a Chicago punk band that is active from 1988 to 2000 and has Scott Ozark listed as a member. The name also appears in connection with a later metalcore-oriented project formed in late 2010 by Rhys Anderson and Matt Trawford, but the group is identified as Chicago-based and punk.

In the later line-up described in the available material, Kevin Lal joins in early 2011 and Rhys Walker-Williams joins in mid-2011, establishing the band’s main core. The group’s debut performance takes place on 21 August 2011 at Caerphilly Rugby Club, where it appears in support of Megaday and receives encouraging feedback.
