DEADGUY live reunion in NJ ... winter 2022

[doktordismemberment]

La Gritona

Start with dissonant hardcore punk along the lines of "My War" era Black Flag, swap out Rollins for a guy who sounds like a burlier David Yow teetering even closer to the edge of a nervous breakdown, add a splash of Voivod style fretboard mangle, and you've more than likely arrived at something that sounds a bit like La Gritona.

That these guys aren't mentioned right alongside bands like Deadguy, Kiss it Goodbye, Playing Enemy, Great Falls, etc. is testament to what an inescapable black hole the Boston music scene was back in the 90's.

The Greatest Debut Album Openers of all time 100-91

The Greatest Debut Album Openers of all time 100-91

A collection of stand out tracks off of debut albums. First impressions are important. Doubly important in the billion dollar music industry. On average, musical artists have about fifteen seconds to capture a listener’s attention – so what an artist chooses to do with that first crucial quarter of a minute can be imperative to either gaining or losing a listener forever. Granted the music…

Every Record I Own - Day 691: Kiss It Goodbye She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not...

I can’t emphasize enough how much of an impact Deadguy’s Fixation on a Coworker and Rorschach’s Protestant had on me as a young adult. Both albums harnessed the vitriolic rage of hardcore while demonstrating a musical competency well beyond their peers in the scene. Rorschach had this Voivod-meets-Siege combination of technical dexterity and unbridled primitive power that lit up both the lizard-brain riff center of my brain and the beard-stroking academic lobe. These were dudes who knew their instruments and were obviously pushing themselves into uncharted territories. Deadguy was a little noisier and slightly less metal, channeling both My War-era Black Flag and early Today is the Day. So when Tim Singer and Keith Huckins left Deadguy and recruited Thom Rusnack and Andrew Gormley from Rorschach to form Kiss It Goodbye, 19-year-old me couldn’t imagine a more promising collection of musicians in one band.

And lemme tell ya, that Kiss It Goodbye demo fuckin’ floored me. It took the genuine anger and catharsis of Deadguy, added the precision of Rorschach, and stretched everything into these long-arc Neurosis-tinged songs. And then word came that they were relocating to Seattle. Honestly, it was intimidating. They were so good that I was worried it would drain my desire to make music, because nothing I played on could possibly wield the power of that demo. 

Kiss It Goodbye would prove to be a great live band, though my fears were unfounded---they were good, but they didn’t make me wanna quit music. And their album, She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not... was initially a bit of a disappointment to my ears. Billy Anderson recorded it, and his recordings were always thick and murky, which was at odds with the popular bright and crispy production style of hardcore in that era. It would take a full year before my ears recalibrated to the frequency spectrum of the album.

But as is so often the case, the longer it takes for an album to sink in, the longer it stays with you. She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not... is a smart, grimy, and overall punishing record, and the fact that it sounds like it’s slathered in a coating of mud actually adds to its charm. I still listen to it regularly, and it still makes my hair stand on end. Like... how could I have ever been resistant to a song as powerful and imposing as “Ammunition”? Ultimately, She Loves Me... belongs in the holy trinity of Keith Huckins classics, right next to Fixation on a Coworker and Protestant.

Synopsis

So many people when Headfirst comes into the conversation goes right to the Back In Control 7″, and I get it, its my favorite release of theirs as well, but I also feel that this 7″ doesnt get its due.  Perhaps being that it has taken a left turn from their earlier catalog, but ive always grooved to this one.  The b-side “Black” takes me to a more less abrasive Deadguy or No Escape.  At times groovy and tribal at other points driving and ferocious.  

The cover kind of goes with the floor for Headfirst in that, nothing is standard or what you would expect it to be, pretty much similar to their musical output.  You always feel like asking yourself, what is this one going to sound like?  The cover is standard glossy black n white with some celtic like artwork and a goofy band photo w/lyrics on paper stock, thus making the glossy gatefold kinda empty and useless.

#181: ONE DAY CLOSER - “unconquered”

ONE DAY CLOSER was a (straight edge) metalcore-band from the netherlands, which reminds me a lot of DISEMBODIED or ARKANGEL. the first song (”loneliness”) even starts a little bit like DEADGUY, but it changes more into this classic metalcore-style with some moshparts soon. 

partly the four songs are pretty nice though (with very emotional lyrics), but in total it’s just a typical 90s metalcore-record. the 7″ was released on coalition records, but i can’t find a release date. the packaging is very nice by the way. the cover is foldable and comes with a banderole with further (personal) texts. 

the guitar player thanks god in the thanks-list which was a no-go for bigger parts of the scene back then (for me as well). on the other hand, krshna-core was mostly okay (for me too - i was even wearing a 108-shirt although i always labelled myself as godfree). let’s call it adolescent inconsequence.

fiddlehead , anxious , praise , one step closer , restraining order (x’s 2) at the cave 11.30.19 /// you know punk hardcore wherever is still so cool to me. i watched and documented this show and saw the youth of connecticut right now. one of the first bands i ever interviewed was cornerstone. they played with deadguy, doc hopper, boy sets fire, and i think hëft & maybe felix frump in totowa at a vfw hall in 1995 (i think it was spring of 95 i think i was still in high school and i remember being given a ride to this show in a convertible but i don’t remember whose car or any one that had come with really) . i think i met @matthewtmolnar at that show. i don’t know if ever transcribed that interview. i know i hadn’t heard the wide awake 7” at that point but the drummer who played with them that day had been in wide awake. i’d loved that cornerstone demo. the woman who had put on the show had made me a mix tape that had jawbreaker and weston and cornerstone and who knows what else on it months earlier. this show reminded me a lot of the uprise set at the redemption 87 show in new providence or basically that whole show. it was the hugh point of an era for a group of friends who were about to grow up go to college start growing apart finding new musical interests making new scenes. there was an intense happiness and pride i saw during the anxious set. their crew or fans all seemed like mostly teenagers to me they seemed like a diverse group of coremen & weirds. do they know or understand these moments do not truly last forever? do they know that they might be chasing that magic for the rest of their lives and it might never be that simple or fun or happy again. but at least for that night they got to capture a truly special moment not everyone can say they get to have with their lives. damn it dude hardcore punk whatever can be so cool. #myfriendsfromTHEPIT #nothingeverstayedstill (at RVP Studios: The Cave) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5spjZhn14311W-M92ncUX-rB9ykkgkG-J7M7k0/?igshid=37jtbe4btgtf
