After Lollapalooza, Cave In toured Europe in support of the Foo Fighters and Muse. Antenna had more success than previous albums and Cave In was chosen to play the second stage on the 2003 Lollapalooza tour. In 2003, the band released Antenna, their debut for RCA. In 2002, they recorded and released a six-song EP for Hydra Head, titled Tides of Tomorrow, with an even further-expanded melodic approach. In April 2001, the band signed to RCA Records. Jupiter also caught the attention of major labels, who began courting the band after its release. The band was featured in Spin Magazine 's "Sound Advice" section, where their new sound was described as "emo-metal Radiohead", though the band themselves rejected this categorization. Then, in 2000, they released Jupiter, receiving a good deal of press. The album's release was followed by extensive touring.īefore their next full-length, Cave In began experimenting with their sound offering Creative Eclipses, a five-song EP which indicated a space rock direction the band would then pursue for several years, as opposed to their metal roots.

Two weeks before the band was to record their first proper full-length, Scrod left the band, pushing guitarist Stephen Brodsky to a position as vocalist, and Caleb Scofield filled in the then-vacant position on bass. Until Your Heart Stops and Jupiter (1998–2001) In 1998, most tracks from previous 7-inch releases and recordings were compiled to form Beyond Hypothermia. At this point, Dave Scrod stepped in for a short-lived tenure as interim vocalist. After Frechette returned from a month on tour with Ten Yard Fight it was a mutual decision for him to leave Cave In and to join Ten Yard Fight full-time. That tour was, however, cut a week short due to Jay Frechette's prior obligations to join and tour with Boston-based Ten Yard Fight.

They would soon release a demo and a handful of split 7-inch releases with bands such as Gambit, Piebald and Early Grace, and see Matthes briefly replaced by Andy Kyte. The initial line-up consisted of Frechette on vocals, Brodsky on guitar and vocals, Adam McGrath on second guitar, JR Conners on drums and Justin Matthes on bass. They named themselves Cave-In as a homage to the Codeine song, Cave-In, from the album Frigid Stars. History Formation and early releases (1995–1998) Ĭave In was formed by Jay Frechette and Stephen Brodsky in the early spring of 1995, when the two began to write songs in Jay's parents' basement. The group went on hiatus in 2006, later reforming in 2009 with the release of the Planets of Old EP, followed by the White Silence LP in 2011, both of which saw a return to Cave In's earlier and heavier sound. The band later experimented with other genres, receiving mainstream recognition for their 2003 RCA Records album Antenna and its lead single " Anchor," which had an overall alternative rock style.
