Screamfeeder began performing under that name in Brisbane, Australia in 1991. They formed out of the remains of Tim Steward and Tony Blade's band, The Madmen.[1]
The Madmen were formed in 1988 in Townsville by Tim Steward, Tony Blade, Bruce Gardner. The band later changed to Steward, Blade and Cam Hurst and recorded three singles and a 12" mini-album.[1]
The Madmen bassist Cam Hurst left the band and Steward and Blade relocated to Brisbane and teamed up with bassist Kellie Lloyd,[1] who had previously made a filmclip for The Madmen, becoming Screamfeeder. In 1995 Dean Shwereb replaced Tony Blades on the drums.[1] In 2007 Steph Hughes briefly filled-in for Dean Shwereb on drums. Mike Squire played harmonica on "Fill yourself with music" and rocked the lead guitar in 1999 and 2000. Live members have included, Doug Arnott and Darek Mudge. Darek Mudge played on their 2003 album, Take You Apart.
Screamfeeder toured Europe with Screaming Tribesmen and The Chevelles, performed at the Big Day Out in 1994 and 1997 and have supported by acts such as Rollins Band, Sonic Youth, Ride and Pavement.[1]
During the 1990s indie and grunge rock increased in popularity throughout the world and Screamfeeder was part of the rise of independent Australian rock. The musical style and influences on each Screamfeeder album are distinct, from retro pop-rock, low-fi indie, to guitar driven alternative.
