Concert Review: Scream

Sat. December 9, 2023 @ Deep Cuts (Medford, MA)

venue "marquee"

It's not too often that I get to do an album review, an interview and a concert review, but every once in a while it does happen. Such is the case with D.C. punk legends Scream, who released their first new album in over 30 years last month with DC Special. Then I got to interview singer Pete Stahl. And then I got to cover their Boston area show last weekend. In my friend Scott Crawford’s 2014 documentary Salad Days about the DC punk scene in the 80s, he interviewed multiple members of Scream. Singer Pete Stahl and his brother / guitarist Franz Stahl, bassist Skeeter Thompson were a tight knit unit with original drummer Kent Stax. After Stax left the band in 1986, his replacement was teenage drummer Dave Grohl, who truly brought it. I was a big fan of the band’s albums No More Censorship and Fumble and I have them in my record collection. After the band broke up (as we all know), Grohl joined Nirvana and brought that punk energy he honed in Scream to the masses. Franz was even the guitarist in Grohl's post-Nirvana band Foo Fighters from 1997-1999. But back to Scream: The Fumble album had been recorded in 1989 but was finally released in 1993. The recently released DC Special featured the original lineup. In September Stax died at age 61, making it his final album with Scream. Now the band has carried on with a tour of the East Coast.

Scream onstage

Deep Cuts is a fairly new music venue in Medford Square that opened earlier this year. I hadn't been here yet, but it's super cool: a brewery, food, pinball machines, and even a record store to the side. But it's a 240-person capacity, which set it apart from some of the bigger music venues around Boston. This type of venue lends itself to punk shows, which have a long tradition of being in small venues like VFWs and dive bars. But it also had that new car smell to the venue. Before Scream, co-headliners from DC Soulside did their set. They were good and all, but I was really excited about Scream.

Scream took the stage and really brought that 80s hardcore punk energy. The band was tight. As I mentioned in my album review, they incorporate a lot more styles than just punk and even some melodic tendencies. In terms of the set, they did a ton of stuff off DC Special and also a lot off of their 1983 debut Still Screaming. Selfishly I wanted them to do something off No More Censorship or Fumble, but I understand without Dave Grohl drumming, it's a different vibe. I've always had nothing but respect for this band and they really swung it out of the park with this show 40 years since their debut album. After the show both Pete and Franz even signed by vinyl No More Censorship album too!
