Roads To Shiloh was a hardcore band from Ottawa, Ontario. Over their short stint in the late 90s to early 00s, they played shows with bands like Slow Parker, The Plan, Weights and Measures and Engine Down. The band started out with a chaotic hardcore/screamo sound on their first demo CD, with a few melodic sections thrown in, sounding akin to New York's Closure or Saetia.
The second demo had a much more metallic and heavy sound, more along the lines of contemporaries Buried Inside, Uranus and Orchid. I honestly enjoy both demos equally despite the stylistic differences, the first can be a bit rough around the edges but they both are executed quite well. Overall, Roads To Shiloh is a very cool and often overlooked piece of Ottawa's punk history. I am happy to be sharing their discography here in better quality than what was previously floating around!
