Bio

In the spring of 146 BC the North African city of Carthage finally fell to the Romans. The Carthaginian Solution was the complete eradication of a society - the destruction of everything; culture, language and history. It was said the Romans were so intent on eliminating all traces of this civilisation that they salted the land so nothing could grow there again. The downfall of Carthage has been used as a metaphor in describing the crushing nature of western foreign policy.

Carthaginian are a four piece indie rock/post-hardcore band who met in 2006 and found common ground in obscure trivia, extinction events, Red Mars and culinary prowess. More importantly they bonded over their shared respect for independent music, and shared lack of respect for political, religious and environmental near-sightedness.

The band's influences include, At The Drive In, Bear Vs Shark, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Refused, Converge, and The Mint Chicks. But 'Crosses' is a unique effort, the achievement of Carthaginian's goal to produce music that is cathartic and personal.

Band Members:
Peter Wujkowski (vocals)
Michael Hall (guitar)
