Music like Achilles

Achilles is an American hardcore punk band from Rochester, Upstate New York, United States. Formed in 2004, the band currently consists of Rory van Grol (vocals), Rob Antonucci (guitar), Josh Dillon (bass) and Chris Browne (drums).

Achilles formed in 2004, as a result of the demise of three local Rochester bands; Building on Fire, The Breaking Project and Standfast. Their primary influences are said to be Botch, Isis and Cave In, amongst others. Later in 2004, the band released a 5-song self-titled EP, which received fairly mixed reviews. They have since gone on to release two split albums; one with Engineer in January 2005 and one with Seven Bowls of Wrath in July 2006, as well as two full-length studio albums; The Dark Horse in May 2005, followed by Hospice in May 2007. Both full-length's received mostly favourable reviews.
