hoover was an american post-hardcore/emo band from washington , d.c. .
formed in 1992 , hoover went on to produce some of the more intense music to appear on the dischord records label in the 1990s .
unusually , three of the four members shared vocal duties equally .
hoover split up in 1994 , and have reformed twice : once in 1997 to record a mini-album of ` odds and ends ' , and again in 2004 to tour europe and also performed some shows back in their homeland .
it is not clear whether the band will continue to be active .
