Between The Wars were a short-lived New Jersey band who featured Ensign frontman Tim Shaw, as well as former Thursday guitarist Bill Henderson. They were known to blend influences from past and present hardcore and punk acts including the post-hardcore grooves of Quicksand and the metallic crunch of bands like 108. Pastepunk called them “a throttling exhibition in powerful metallic hardcore with thunderous guitars and Shaw’s instantly gripping bellicose yell.” Despite two releases to great press, the band rarely played shows, cementing them as one of New Jersey’s best kept secrets.
