Abilene was a post-hardcore and math rock band from Chicago, IL. The band was formed in 1998 by guitarist Alex Dunham (of Hoover, Radio Flyer, Regulator Watts & Wind of Change), drummer Scott Adamson (of Chisel Drill Hammer & Just a Fire), and bassist Craig Ackerman (of Lustre King, Bloodiest & Sterling).

In 2000, the group released their debut album, Abilene, a "six-song self-titled slow-burner" on the now-defunct Slowdime label. Before their next album, Fred Erskine (of Hoover & June of 44) joined the band to play trumpet. Together, they then released and recorded their second album, Two Guns, Twin Arrows, in 2002. Later that year, Ackerman left and was replaced by Doug McCombs (of Tortise, Eleventh Dream Day & Brokeback) on bass. The group disbanded soon after in 2003.

In 2023, the band's two albums were remastered and released by the Landland Colportage label in the boxset Endee Burial, alongside demos, rarities, and unreleased material. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
