Unrest was an American indie rock band formed in Washington, D.C., led by Mark Robinson and active primarily from 1983 to 1994.

Led by Mark Robinson; associated with the American indie scene of the late 1980s/early 1990s and noted for blending hardcore, post-hardcore and indie-pop approaches.

DeBaser's reviews present Unrest as an influential American indie group that blended hardcore, post-hardcore and indie-pop approaches. Imperial f.f.r.r. is praised as their most varied and representative album. Malcolm X Park is described as a manifesto of short, intense, avant-garde-leaning tracks. Reviewers compare the band's scope to Pixies, Sonic Youth, Wire and Slint.

For:Fans of late-80s/early-90s American indie rock, post-hardcore and underground/college-rock collectors.

 "Malcolm X Park" represents perhaps the manifesto of Unrest: avant-garde tendencies are channeled into mostly short, intense tracks with communicative urgency always at the forefront.

 They are one of the most influential bands that have ever been heard in American indie rock, but few remember them, even fewer know them, and certainly no one mentions them anymore.
