Wrench in the Works


Wrench in the Works was an American Christian mathcore/metalcore band originating from Hartford, Connecticut. Formed from members of previous bands such as CT's Groundzero, Wrench was initially birthed as a side-project to transcend traditional expectations in the current genre and allow the artists more creative space to improvise and color outside the lines. Gradually the project came into focus as the primary collective endeavor and the band toured extensively during its active years throughout the United States and Canada. Wrench in the Works would undergo lineup/personnel changes at various times including pairing down from 5 members to 3 for the writing of "Lost Art of Heaping Coal" with the final lineup consisting of 4 touring/writing members for the "Decrease/Increase" release. In addition to recording music and touring, Wrench in the Works had been featured on TVU and TVU's metalcore show, Battery for the video to their hit song, "Dust Over Time Test." On September 28, 2010, Facedown Records announced that Wrench in the Works had disbanded.
