It was known that Flash support would end today so it was expected that alot of this old remaining band info would be lost. Other non-Flash related information loss throughout the year included the West Chester Nuclear Winter Message board, Purevolume's remaining silent content, and other various website expiries. In an effort to minimize the impact, all old website links have been screened for reliance on Flash. Many sites contain flash content but will still run in some capacity without it. Videos of animated content and screenshots of the webpages have been taken. For now the Y2K20 Problem appears to be at least relieved. Early in 2021 the archived content will be organized and reposted in some fashion. Dead links will get cleaned up and newly found ones will be added. Shows and Around Town sections will also be added.
2020 saw many WC2K artists and alumni put out new or reissued material this year, including Left Behind, whose catalog was digitally rereleased by Black Shirt Music in April to commemorate the 15tth anniversary of their last show. Change must have been in the air that day, April 9, 2005, for so many other bands to finish off then too, like Mundo Rojo and Pilot Round The Sun. A reunion show was planned but postponed due to the pandemic. The date is still TBA but updated info will be added once the Shows section arrives. Left Behind - catalog (2001-2005)Lauren Adams - Makeout Tour '07 (2007)
Folk-Punk Lauren Adams rereleased her Makeout Tour '07 album in March. Hmm, I always remember the copy I got at Maysie's Farm Fest 2010 showing up in iTunes as "Go Fuck Yourself". Remember the Before Times to this.
Apparatus Engine - Perfect Weapon & My Dad Was A Badass (Live)
Long gone Creep Records artists Apparatus Engine dropped live recordings of two tracks from 2001's Save EP.
B'Gosh - B' Gosh Goes to H'ell
Frequent out of town visitor's from neighboring Delaware, indiepop duo B'Gosh (ludicriuously referred to as emo on a 2003 flyer) might be the last band standing. Recorded over a three year span between 2015 and 2018, B'Gosh To H'ell was released in October.
Seismic - s/t
Scene alums Anthony Mariano (Combat Crisis, F.T.C., Freedom's Slave), Ken Miller (Violent Visual, Last Day Dying) join forces with drummer Mike Lang to unleash a sludge doom soundtrack of today.
Reprover - catalog (2005-2006)
Exton death metal band Reprover's only full length Vikings Killed The Dinosaurs came out at a reunion show after some members went away to college so it probably wasn't so easy to come across even back then. In August, it was digitally rereleased along with the 2005 demo EP Give Reprover Money.
Tom Interchangeable - Visions All The Time (2020)
Former Dr. Waimea/Drop Out Academy bassist and DOI vocalist Tom Interchangeable's August release Visions All The time collects shoegaze and psychedelic tracks from 2006-2009.
