Bessemer Process (1996-1998)

Bessemer Process was a hardcore band originating from Delaware in the mid-1990s. Active primarily between 1996 and 1998, the band distinguished itself within the local and regional hardcore scene for its raw sound and for fostering a political and openly gay presence, which was significant for the time. Their impact on the scene was notable, with members later contributing to other prominent Delaware bands like Joshua Fit for Battle.
