The Accüsed re-formed in 2003, playing live shows in the Seattle area, and in 2005 released the album Oh, Martha! on the band’s CONDAR label. This “comeback record” landed on Revolver magazine’s Top Ten Albums of the Year and writer’s lists from Metal Maniacs magazine. Oh, Martha! followed the tradition of many earlier releases by The Accüsed in that it featured a track with a guest lead singer. In this case, guitarist Tommy Niemeyer sang lead vocals on the angry “13 Letters” (though no lead vocal credit was printed on the album). In 2006 a limited-edition, split 7-inch with Whidbey Island , Washington’s punk icons Potbelly was released. The Accüsed 2003 reunion line-up was short-lived, however, as a newly reformed version of the band surfaced in 2006, and yet another incarnation in Summer 2019. In 2022, guitarist Tommy Niemeyer and original vocalist, John Dahlin recruited March of Crimes bassist, Andy Caro; Brian Fritts (Big Top, The Black NAsty, 13 Scars) on guitar and former The Accused drummer, Josh Sinder (also Tad, Hot Rod Lunatics, et al.) . This line-up cranked out one song, ‘Don’t Swallow the Grime’ then splintered, with Caro, Fritts and Dahlin departing between 2023 and 2024. Bass guitar duty then became the task for Brookelle Sinder, daughter of drummer Josh Sinder; and finally in early 2025 the return of vocalist Brad Mowen was implemented to round-out the current line-up for The Accüsed.
