Biography

Formed in 1995 in Elizabeth, NJ, E-Town Concrete released their debut album, Time 2 Shine, on Back to Basics in 1997. In 2000, the metal heavy hitters Triple Crown Records released their follow-up The Second Coming. Fusing metal, hip-hop, and hardcore, the foursome developed a cult of fans on the East Coast, selling 4,000 copies of their album in one record store alone, Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ, largely due to their New Jersey based shows and constant touring. ~ Stacia Proefrock, All Music Guide

E.Town Concrete, or sometimes called "E-Town", was a hardcore punk/rap rock group from Elizabeth, New Jersey. They formed in 1995 and shortly thereafter released Time 2 Shine, their first full-length album, in 1999 on the Resurrection A.D. label. They have since released four more albums on various record labels, such as Razor & Tie and Ironbound Recordings. The band decided to break up in 2006, playing their last show on May 20 of the same year.

On October 12, 2008, the band's Myspace page indicated that "The Return" was coming. Two reunion shows at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey were announced on October 13, scheduled for February 20 and 21 of 2009.
