DC Hardcore legends SCREAM appearing for the first time in San Diego since 1985 with their original lineup! Baileys Crossroads, Virginia lays just a few miles outside of DC, but in the 1980s it was apparently far enough to make it seem like a different world. The Virginia suburbs suddenly stepped up with the formation of Scream. There were punk shows being thrown in the basement of the Scream House, and the DC bands, always looking for a place to play, were making the trek out to what was known as 'BXR'. Scream, like most of the bands in DC, obviously had been extremely influenced by the Bad Brains, but they seemed to be more advanced musicians and had more of a rock and roll sensibility than the others. In 1982, they went into Inner Ear Studio with Ian and Eddie to record Dischord's first full length album, Still Screaming. Scream released four albums on Dischord (as well as one on RAS Records, No More Censorship) and continued to play until the beginning of the 90's, doing a number of U.S. and European tours. They made a few line-up changes, including the addition of their friend Harley Davidson on second guitar, and when Kent left the band, they asked a young drummer from Mission Impossible and Dain Bramage, Dave Grohl, to take over. After a number of years with "the Scream team", Dave went on to Nirvana and the Foo-Fighters. Local Hardcore Punk stalwarts DIATRIBE are thought by many to be the forerunners of American D-Beat. Formed in late 1984, this San Diego band became one of the first political Punk bands in the U.S.A. Bumbklaatt is brutal Crust Punk with melodic undertones sung in Spanish and English. From Tijuana, Mexico, they draw inffluence from early Neurosis, Talk is Poison, and His Hero Is Gone, but without sounding anything like them. CONCUSSION from Los Angeles features the Townsend brothers (C.O.P.), Danny Lyerla of Blind Nuns and Shane the Mad Man on vocals.
