Since releasing their debut full-length, recorded on eight-track reel-to-reel in a Louisville garage in 2004, Coliseum has shared stages and split EPs with the likes of Young Widows, Russian Circles, Converge and Napalm Death. Their latest LP,
House With a Curse, is a far cry from their metal beginnings, and features the likes of Will Oldham among their guest vocalists. Subsequently, it was voted one of the top 10 punk albums of 2010 by Canadian music magazine
Exclaim! Making their way back from Gainesville, Fla.'s annual music festival The Fest, Coliseum and tourmates Regents — a Philly/DC-based prog-punk band — will be beating Nashville bloody this Halloween weekend, hitting FooBar Too with local rippers Cannomen.
