Coliseum

Coliseum was an American punk rock band from Louisville, Kentucky, formed in 2003 by singer and guitarist Ryan Patterson, previously of Black Cross and The National Acrobat. The band was a cornerstone of Louisville's "Maximum Louisville" hardcore scene and over five studio albums evolved from D-beat-influenced hardcore punk to a more expansive sound incorporating post-punk, noise rock, and post-hardcore. In its 12-year run, the band played nearly 1,000 shows and released records on Level Plane, Relapse, Temporary Residence, and Deathwish Inc.
