Biography
Eph Tradition is a downtuned hardcore punk band that started sometime in the beginning of 2004. Led by the vocal stylings of the erratic boozing ordained minister, the Reverend DJ Suiciety, this New Castle, Delaware band has been keeping the old school hardcore punk spirit alive admist a sea of posers and mall punks that tremble before them in the Delaware region. With their music being fueled by beer and pizza, they will conquer the Delaware valley.
The band is consisted of Dave Grind on guitar. You may have seen him in bands such as Oprichniki (former New Castle hardcore heroes), My Version Of It, Dismember the Body, Walk Among Us, Toxic Holocaust (the live local version), and etc.
Drums, we have Edzilla the Great. Another Oprichniki alumni, he has also been in other area notables, Road to Ruin, Labor Day Saints (best street punk in the area), and The Hated.

Eph Tradition has played shows at the now defunct Barn Door, Gators, East End Cafe, the pisshole, Club Vegetable, Suiciety fest, Hellapalooza, Speakeasy Cafe, Bubba's, and the Ground Floor, just to name a few.
