Google Bard Punk Rock Fanfic #AI

 I was on a Discogs bender, trying to get credits for some 90's SoCal bands.  

Like, what? I looked up "Dangerfield's Secret Army" and got nothing. Kevin Seconds formed the Minutemen? Is there a single fact in this entire response? 

Yes, there is a band called Nonox 9, they would change their name to 1208. And look! Another Seconds/Coats/MacDonald project! 

Kevin Seconds not mentioned, so maybe this one is helpful. Except those names do not line up at all with the info I have, and I can't find any evidence that those albums exist. 

Another "amicable" band break up! Again, I think the names are wrong (although there is a "Danimal" in the band). And Fishsticks influences by the Aquabats is one of the funnier things I've read. 

Good luck using Google Bard on your term papers, kids! 

Sick - Carpe Diem CD [1998 Self-released]

 

Nu metal lite from Colorado. Not my cup of tea , but not any worse, and arguably better than, most of the Alice In Chains inspired nu metal on major labels from that era. Weird who gets signed and who doesn't.

Mexican Cheerleader - Mexican Cheerleader CD [2001 Hewhocorrupts, Inc.] #mexicancheerleader

 

The word "cohort" is being used far too often. Stop it.

A Chicago supergroup with members of Oblivion, Apacolypse Hoboken, Horace Pinker / Lynard's Innards. 

If that doesn't sell you, nothing will. Crazy good. Available on Bandcamp for a paltry $3.

Gimcrack - Bad Day Every Day CD [1996 Stiff Pole Records]

I've heard Morphine's "Cure For Pain" in two random situations this week. Weird. 

I thought I'd posted this before? Apparently not. I love this band. And now, besides comp tracks, you have their entire discography.

Good / great bands with shitty vocalists?

Was recently listening to Megadeth's Rust In Peace for the first time in forever, and my thoughts are the same now as when it came out: would be one of the greatest records of all time if Dave Mustaine was not singing. The last half of "Hangar 18" has no vocals and is thus one of the greatest half-songs in metal history. 

So, off the top of my head, the top 5 bands that would be exponentially better by replacing their singer: 

1. Megadeth

2. Rush

3. Accept

4. Type O Negative

5. Vio-lence (although it's so bad I kinda like it?) 

Yeah, these are all metal, and there's probably some obvious ones I forgot about. There are a ton of thrash bands that went for the falsetto / sing-y shit (Forbidden, Heathen) instead of the far superior Steve Souza Exodus type vocals that would be on an extended list. Don't even start with me. Steve Souza rules. 

How to ruin a great song:

Anyways, who you got? 

Gus - Get Well Soon 7" [1995, 702 Records] [REPOST]

Re-upped by request. 

This Gus is from Florida, not Canada, and rock that wonderful Spoke-ish mid 90's No Idea sound. The version of Gus that played here was Drew Demaio (Strikeforce Diablo, Assholeparade, Floor) on guitar/vocals, and Ron Sas (Floor) on bass. Liner notes also indicate a fella named Mike played drums, but the same liner notes say that Jason Lederman (Cavity, Where Fear And Weapons Meet) played drums on this record, so I don't know what's going on there. Also, Sam Fogarino of Interpol once played drums for Gus, though not on this record.

Thanks to South Florida Music Scene for info.

L. Dula - Records Records Records [?? Fam Royal] #sandiego #lakanmorales

 

L. Dula (Lakan Morales) is a loved and respected DJ and crate digger from San Diego who was paralyzed last year in a freak boogie boarding accident. His family has set up a GoFundMe to help with expenses as they all adapt to the new reality.  

This mix is chock full of obscure stuff, mostly soul and funk, that I do not recognize. Feel free to comment if you can identify samples and tie them to particular tracks. It'll be fun. I also don't know the year on this, and it's driving me crazy. So if you know, dish.

Impetus Inter - PR Of RPM 7" [1995 Cerebellum Records] #mn #screamo

This one has been sitting in draft since 2011!

Completely overlooked MN band. Noisy hardcore that is not boring, and in no way related to post-1995 definitions of "screamo", though the original meanings of the term fits. 

Erik Funk from Dillinger Four played bass for them for a while, but not on this.
