Voorhees, a British hardcore punk band from Durham, England, was formed in 1990 by vocalist Ian Leck and guitarist Sean Readman. Initially part of Steadfast, they began Voorhees as a side project with bassist David "Brownie" Brown, drummer Gary Cousins, and guitarist Darrell Hindley. Their debut demo, Everyone's Good at Something... Except Us!, was recorded shortly after their first performance in September 1991. The band released their first EP, Violent, in April 1993 through Armed with Anger Records. Voorhees' debut album, Spilling Blood Without Reason, was released in 1994 and featured a total of twenty-six tracks, with thirteen on each side of the vinyl. The band toured extensively throughout Europe and the USA from 1994 to 2001, releasing notable albums such as the compilation Smiling at Death (1996) and Crystal Lakes Legacy (2001). Voorhees disbanded in late 2001 but reunited for several shows in 2004 and 2010 and from 2012 to 2014.
