Lincoln popped up out of West Virginia, and definitely had the mid 90s post-hardcore/emo sound nailed down.  After releasing 7"s through Watermark and Art Monk Construction, along with a split 7" with Hoover, they faded away.  Before their demise, an LP was recorded in what was probably 1995.  I'm unsure of who was supposed to release it, but it obviously never saw the light of day.

Handsome were a post-hardcore band of great lineage in the mid 90s.  The band was started after Peter Mengede's departure from Helmet and also featured the likes of Jeremy Chatelain (Insight, Iceburn), Pete Hines (Cro-Mags, Murphy's Law) and Tom Capone (Beyond, Quicksand).
This first 7" release from Handsome came out in 1995 on Full City Blend out of New York, and was actually recorded prior to Tom Capone joining the band.  Both songs would eventually make their way onto Handsome's full length debut for Sony.

Handsome also released a 7" on Sub Pop in 1995, followed by their one and only full length in 1997.  If anyone out there happens to have the European version of the full length with the bonus cd, please get in touch with me, because I've been looking to acquire one for quite a while now.  And if Europe regards Handsome the same way that America seems to these days, a bunch of dollar bins are probably littered with copies.
