DISMEMBERS

 

A very nice Bay Area hardcore relic from the early '00s. Recorded at Burnt Ramen at a show with BORN/DEAD and PHALANX (which provides a time/place), and there are plenty of blatant nods to their local forebears (very specifically ECONOCHRIST). Wild melodic bass lines, blown out desperation from the vocals, metallic guitar breaks that lead into standard, four on the floor, hard charging hardcore punk. This was recorded right around the time I was moving to the Midwest, and the band wasn't on my radar at the time. Just this one (admittedly rough) recording that I'm aware of, and it's a recording that will quickly (nay, immediately) take you back to that place...if you were ever there.
