The Episode were a band from Richmond, VA, active sometime around the late 90s, early 2000s. There's precious little information on this band available, either in the liner notes or through the internet, a situation only made worse by their name. Whatever the exact dates, they don't appear to have been around very long. Their discography appears to consist entirely of one, self-titled album. The album was recorded and mixed in 1998, but Discogs claims it was released in 1999.
The music on it is a slurry of emocore, post-hardcore, melodic hardcore, and a little screamo, with additional influences from pretty much every single other genre of emo one might care to name, leaning most towards midwest emo. The result is some of the most emo music I've ever heard, like a greatest hits compilation comprised of sounds instead of songs.
