Jenhitt were a band who may have been from Maryland, based on their contact info. At the very least, one of their members was attending UMD in 1997. It's very difficult to find any concrete info on this band besides the lineup and some of their later projects. In the early portion of their discography, they played energetic, punchy emo pop similar to bands like Eldritch Anisette, Servo, or The Pennikurvers, though Jenhitt are usually a little more laid back. By the time of their second album, the band started to bring more midwest emo into the fold.
The best look at the band's discography comes from their Bandcamp page, where their works are hosted as part of another project; there is still a compilation track missing, though. The band's first release was the Music For The Royal Fireworks album in 1996 (Discogs says 95), followed by two 7"s and the …Is In Houston EP in 1997. Later that same year, the band would release In The Cold Light Of Winter. The band probably stuck together for a little while after that as they were putting out compilation tracks in 1998. They contributed one last compilation track in 2000, but I don't know if that was posthumously or not. There's also an additional track on the Bandcamp that's either from an unknown compilation or was previously unreleased.
