Billy Davis joins band

During the band’s first nationwide tour, Piercey left the band, resulting in the tour being completed without a bass player. In 1998, bassist Billy Davis joined the band, and they recorded the “Life and Death” EP for Davis’s own Partners In Crime Records. After Davis’s departure in 1999, Ryan Teetzen, of the Fort Smith, Arkansas band Burned Up Bled Dry, joined on bass, playing on their first two 12-inch LPs (Concrete And Steel 12-inch, Silence 12-inch) on the then unnamed Feral Ward Records- formerly The Great American Steak Religion . In 2001, Davis, who had relocated to Portland, OR to form Tragedy with members of the recently disbanded His Hero Is Gone re-joined From Ashes Rise. After the recording of the songs for a split 12-inch with Sweden’s Victims , released on Havoc Records in 2003, the band signed with Jade Tree , and began writing the songs that would make up the Nightmares LP. Drawing on obscure hardcore bands from Scandinavia and Japan, Discharge’s venerated D-beat , and crust punk From Ashes Rise helped bring an aggressive sound to Jade Tree. In 2004, Davis would depart again, and prior to tours of North America and Europe, was replaced by Derek Willman . The band then split up in Fall 2005 after doing a tour with the renowned UK band, the Subhumans .
