History
Established in 1997 by former members of Mind Over Matter, Bad Trip, Clockwise, and Milhouse, Errortype:11 quickly attracted attention thanks to the members’ musical pedigrees.
Their debut album, titled Errortype:11, was released on Some Records—a label created by Walter Schreifels of influential New York hardcore outfits such as Youth of Today and Quicksand. This record was completed within a week at Ray Martin's Operating Room studio. It garnered acclaim from fellow musicians, underground publications, and industry magazines alike, being recognized as one of the standout new releases in 1998.
The band's last album with Some Records, Amplified to Rock, came out in April 2000 and was produced by John Agnello—known for his collaborations with Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth. Agnello’s involvement followed his work on their 1999 EP for Crank! Records.
Combining compelling studio recordings with dynamic performances on stage enabled Errortype:11 to tour alongside Samiam, Gameface, Grade, At the Drive-In, Shades Apart, and The Dismemberment Plan. Their strong following spanned both the United States and Europe, evidenced by packed venues such as Mercury Lounge and Brownies in New York City as well as other prominent East Coast locations.
Afterwards, Arthur Shepherd, Adam Marino, and Ti Kreck went on to create the band Instruction.
Errortype:11 reunited for a one-off concert at Mercury Lounge on August 8, 2009.
