So be on the lookout for this band, playing a garage near you.

Intro from their Sessions page:

Coming from the self-proclaimed "Land of No Toilets," (Oxnard/Ventura, CA) is the MISSING 23rd. Founded in 1995, M23 wanted to play something different than the majority of the bands at that time: they wanted to play fast and angry!

After a few line up changes, they put out their first 7" and did a few west coast tours sharing stages with bands like AFI, SUICIDE MACHINES, CODE 13, PROPAGHANDI, EARTH CRISIS, etc....proving that they can comfortably play almost any show that falls under the punk umbrella. In fact, their main goal is to unite this thing we call a scene.

In 1998, they recorded their first full length "The Powers That Be" for Mankind Records. The LP received great reviews and the M23 was looked at as the best band to come out of the area since the NARD CORE days of old. Since the LP, they've shared a split 7" with local home town heroes REPEATER 800 (ex-NO MOTIV), on 24 hour records and recorded their debut 7" for Sessions Records, "All For The Sake Of Almost."

In November of 2000, the band released their new full length, "Ctrl+Alt+Del" also on Sessions. These are the best songs they have ever written and it shows by the response they have gotten so far. Skateboarding, punk and fun is what happens when this band comes to town and the Missing 23rd will be taking over the roads of the US and the world, spreading the revolution to anyone with an open mind. Prepare to be changed.
