**Kerosene 454** was a ’90s post-hardcore band rooted in Washington, D.C.’s thriving underground scene, blending raw energy with angular riffs and introspective lyrics. Formed in the early ’90s, the group featured members like Jason Hamacher (drums), Andy Coronado (vocals/guitar), and Joe Lally (bass), who later joined Fugazi. Known for their chaotic yet melodic sound—somewhere between noise rock and post-hardcore—they released albums like *Came By To Kill Me* (1994) and *Race* (1995) via Doghouse Records. Tracks like “In For Even” and “Tracer” showcased their signature tension-and-release dynamics and frenetic rhythms. Despite critical acclaim and a cult following, Kerosene 454 disbanded in 1998, leaving behind a short but impactful catalog that still resonates with fans of gritty, intelligent punk rock.
