Biography

From the hardcore haven of Northeast America, pg. 99 embodies the essence of throat-searing, heart-pounding, metallic, angular noise -- tearing down buildings from the base up, kicking out brick after brick. They are a structured mass of chaotic bodies on-stage, made up in full form of three guitarists, two bassists, two screaming vocalists, and a drummer. Those who witness them live never leave without a drastically engraved impression, often ending up on the floor in a swarm of piling bodies. Their first major full-length album, the 2000-released Document #5, put them into the expanding category of innovative and edgy screamy hardcore bands, alongside bands such as Love Lost but Not Forgotten, Majority Rule, Song of Zarathustra, and so forth. Their most recent release, the incredible, dark, seven-song Document #8, continues to push the edge of hardcore into a new direction, breathing fresh air and liquid passion over rows of faces. ~ Blake Butler, All Music Guide

Pg. 99 (also spelled pageninetynine) was a screamo[citation needed] band from Sterling, Virginia on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. The band formed as a 6-piece in winter 1998 and later expanded to an 8-piece. With continual line-up changes, they once played as a 14 member outfit. Pg. 99 were known for their intense live shows.[1]

In Connecticut, Pg. 99 attendees spawned a number of "theme shows" where audience members descended on the pit adorned with items of the evenings theme.

After several US tours, a European tour, and numerous releases, they disbanded in May 2003.

As of 2009, two releases are yet to see light – a DVD compiling various live footage, and a split 10" with City of Caterpillar containing both bands' last songs recorded.
