Biography
Regulator Watts was a post-hardcore/emo band from Washington, D.C.. The band was active from 1996 to 1998. In 2026, the group reformed and released a new EP.
The band's music resembles that of illustrious predecessor Hoover, with more of an emphasis on taut, mechanical basslines and feedback-laden, spare guitar lines, as opposed to Hoover's fluid, jazzy basslines and contrasting guitar styles. When the band broke up, Dunham formed a new band, Abilene, and Sless-Kitain joined Bluetip.
