I can't remember the title/artist of a particular song. In fact i can't remember anything about the song really.. Except that i think its in 3/4 time. It guitar driven. Alternative/rock from the late 90s or early 2000s. I seem to remember it being sort industrial rocky.. or droney.. but I don't know. I think the band was a three piece.. north american.
I remember no portion of the lyrics, song title or artist name.
Can anyone help?
also, is there any way to search ILM archives right now? that may help.

i think they may have had a few minor hits. i heard the song via mp3 most likely, so i don't know how widespread the airplay was.
i'm located in ontario canada, but i dont recall them being specifically regional to the area, or even canada, though i can't exclude it.
nothing pops out at me from that wikipedia article. i might be totally wrong on the trio thing.. the 3/4 thing im more sure of.. thats what prompted this.
also note that i was into stuff like nine inch nails and white zombie when i was younger, so it probably spoke somewhat to those tastes.

Sounds like a dead ringer for (and someone mentioned the band above) "Seeing Red" by Chevelle if you ask me. Especially if you would have said 'Tool-lite' to describe the song.
Seriously though, check that song out, it just might be the one.

it came to me all of a sudden on the drive home from work. let me tell you guys. i can finally sleep.
because this thread was so much fun, i wont reveal right away, and instead allow for one more round of guesses, with all new clues, based on facts and not my apparently ridiculous memory.
1. They are canadian2. the song had a video (probably never saw mtv though, only muchmusic)3. the verses have some nine inch nailsy synths and 3/4 drums, then guitars come in for prechorus and chorus, male vocals, looks like a 4 piece in the video.4. the narrowed down year is 20015. i can't find them on allmusic.com, so i guess that makes them obscure, in an underfunded canadian band from 6 years ago sorta way6. seems they did have major canadian label support though
actually now that i think about it i did pretty good on remembering shit about this track.. not too many of my clues were hugely off.
anyway, i leave this open for a little bit, then i'll dissappoint you with actually revealing the track.. cuz its really not mindshatteringly awesome.. just fucking fantastic for me because of the nostalgia and what not..
