Rat Conspiracy
“The new Unwound box set Rat Conspiracy collects the Seattle punks' 1993 LP F**ake Train and 1994's New Plastic Ideas along with a third album of 7” singles, radio sessions, compilation appearances, and unreleased tracks from the raw, formative years of the band.”

Empire
“Empire is the fourth instalment of the Numero Group's extensive and elaborate overview of Pacific Northwest explorers Unwound. Two years into the series, and some 13 years after the band collapsed on itself, newcomers have learned a lot about the Tumwater, WA trio. In their earliest days, shortly after morphing from Giant Henry into Unwound, the act fired off scattershot, scrappy punk salvos like ”
