Mood Of Defiance
Mood of Defiance was an American punk rock band from San Pedro, California. Dave Markey described their music as "very atypical for Southern California hardcore—almost psychedelic, but still really aggressive." History The band grew from a previous synthesizer-based band called Kindled Imagination featuring Rachel "Hatha" Mason on synth and Greg Hurley (brother of Minutemen drummer George) on vocals and drums. Hatha decided she wanted to sing so she put an ad in ''The Recycler'' and guitarist T.A. Black (Tom Ybarra) and bassist Kevin Ball replied. Soon drummer Ritchie Wilder left Saccharine Trust and joined the group. The band name was taken from a headline in an issue of ''Time'' which read "MIDDLE EAST: A Mood of Defiance". A seven track demo was made in 1981 at Media Art with SST house engineer Spot producing. The band began playing shows around town and Hatha became known for her outrageous stage antics such as burning a flag onstage, performing while wearing a wed ...

The Politics Of Time
''The Politics of Time'' is the seventh overall release, third album-length release, and first compilation by American hardcore punk band the Minutemen. Released in between their ''Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat'' 12" EP and ''Double Nickels on the Dime'' double album on their own New Alliance Records label, the album compiles seven tracks meant for a non- SST Minutemen studio album that never materialized, a variety of live tracks of varying recording quality (most done with ordinary cassette machines), and a recording by the Minutemen's predecessor band The Reactionaries. Part of the sleeve note on the back cover facetiously asks listeners to "note the quality of the recording" on the live version of "Fanatics" (from ''The Punch Line''). While the recording is an almost undiscernible mess, the cut is apparently included for its historical importance as according to Henry Rollins in his book ''Get In The Van'', on this night at the end of the song, D. Boon had jumped i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
