At least I got to see them with Dave Smalley.<br /><br />Once the metal crossover happened and the money started coming around, bands willingly started putting themselves up for sale. You especially saw it in New York, with Rock Hotel and Metal Blade and Combat and so forth-- if you could get the metal kids to buy your LPs, all of a sudden you weren't collecting cans to pay rent anymore... the melodic thing that bands like Uniform Choice and Justice League went through, I think they were just aping the Dischord catalog. You know, first we're going to sound like Minor Threat, then we're going to "evolve" and sound like Embrace and Rights of Spring...Brushbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439601217855895036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-79578210225464025702011-11-25T10:01:36.064-05:002011-11-25T10:01:36.064-05:00Yep, Scream 'No More Censorship' managed t...Yep, Scream 'No More Censorship' managed to strip out the hardcore and substitute with some interesting 'The Cult' influence. Alas, not a good record overall.<br /><br />I knew I was forgetting a band: Uniform Choice - Starring In The Sun. A real bummer. <br /><br />The best I can figure out is that these bands all had one or two hardcore releases, then they wanted to flex their musical muscles and try better studios with engineers and whatnot. Since it was the middle of the 80s they were damned with the studio trends of the time. Check out the book: http://amzn.to/vY9lsV<br />which dives deep into recording trends. <br /><br />Dag Nasty, I can listen to 'Wig Out' and ''Can I Say.' Amazing stuff and I'm stoked I was able to see Dag Nasty in the 80s at the Anthrax. 'Field Day' is not good, but I'm just interested in how they went into such a different creative direction. <br /><br />On a final note, I'm not trying to slag any of these bands, they all had some great records. And Verbal Assault is a great amazing band! I've enjoyed their records since the 80s.keith shivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370462112805814885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-15464280664345288292011-11-25T09:36:28.148-05:002011-11-25T09:36:28.148-05:00Do you mean the second Scream lp "This Side U...Do you mean the second Scream lp "This Side UP"? I have all three but Dischord is still around so they haven't been ripped/posted yet. I first heard them because I bought their third lp right as it broke so even though it's pure melodic hardcore and now one really liked it after the first two rockers, I dig it the most. Yeah I was privy to buy a skater friends old punk collection when all in jr. high were turning to deadheads which I never laid claim to until later but if I had turned, I could have seen them while alive I suppose. Oh well as my first comment goes, I would rather skank to the beat in a thrash sort of way.Viacomclosedmedown on youtubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03189433263709439498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-88699246874586819062011-11-24T09:21:57.724-05:002011-11-24T09:21:57.724-05:00I could take "Can I Say", but Dag Nasty ...I could take "Can I Say", but Dag Nasty lost me after that.<br /><br />Scream actually had a half-decent "rock" album, I forget what it was called...

The...I'm down with the Tiny Giants 7''. The perfect trifecta: Verbal Assault & Justice League & 7 Seconds 'New Wind' all embody the lost genre of post hardcore/suburban melodic rock. Good call on that! <br /><br />I inherited a lot of these records from friends who were giving away their old record collections. Most releases from this era of Tiny Giants 7'' all suffered from too much chorus pedal and gated drum kits. <br /><br />Scream was another Dischord band in the mid/late 80s 'edging' into this territory. And Dag Nasty, they were the crown jewel. Fucking Field Day! Listening to Field Day is almost embarrassing. I can't think of many bands that give me that feeling, so as a glutton for punishment I keep playing it. Back inna day, nobody liked it. Then again my friends and I liked Leeway, so I'm not sure it we had any taste anyhow.keith shivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370462112805814885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-71403403309689718052011-11-22T20:59:16.135-05:002011-11-22T20:59:16.135-05:00Hmmm, live stuff, that might be interesting.
