Genre: Post-Hardcore / Punk Rock
Country: USA
Baxter formed in 1995 in Chicago, Illinois and began playing basement shows and building up a fanbase. They first recorded a self-titled EP that featured a female fighter in the cover that resembles Chun-Li from the Street Fighter serie. Their first record was released independently as a full length cassette entitled Troy’s Bucket, and enjoyed moderate success in the underground scene. They began touring extensively around the Midwest. In 1996, they signed to the independent label Static Station. 1997 saw the release of a 7″ entitled Lost Voices, and by this time they were very popular in the local scene.
In 1999 they split up and members have remained active in the hardcore scene in bands such as The Killing Tree, The Honor System, The Lawrence Arms and most notably Rise Against. In 2003, Will Not Clear Man records put out Baxter, a compilation of both of their official releases as well as several unreleased songs and demos.
