Pierre Pressure - this is one of a handful that I loved from late 90s street punk Boston. These guys okay, at least?

The nice thing about living in Boston was pretty much any night of the week one could go to Obriens in Allston and see a punk or metal show full of bands that annoy me less than Dropkick. The weird side effect of this is bands kind of run together and you end up only separating them based on who, if anyone, you know in a given band. Point is, I'm not familiar with those two bands and I needed to buy some time to listen to some of their stuff. I approve.

Thats funny, i only know of Showcase Showdown bc the Dropkicks shouted their name out in one of the tracks from their first album....back before the internet, when shout-outs/liner-note thank-you's were the only way to discover new bands.

I was all about that whole scene back then - dropkick, showcase showdown, ducky boys, toxic narcotic, unseen. I loved it all.

...and I only know of the Unseen bc of the Darkbuster song "I Hate the Unseen," ha.

My hc/punk scene was here in NY, but always loved road trips up to Boston for shows up there back in the day.

The beer is because I need to mentally prep for a long and annoying day or a short and even more annoying day at work tomorrow. The album is because I haven't listened to it in a while and this week's great music thread got me thinking about it.

Got tired of waiting for a repress of this so spent a few weeks waiting for a reasonably priced slightly beat up copy to pop up. Finally arrived today.

And some metal box for good measure

 

[kbuzz1]

This album cover is prettier, but neverendless is a better album...

Beer is foothills BBA Dead and Berried

 

[FlatStrauss]

WTF was goin on ‘72?

 

[kbuzz1]

Believe it was davey101 maybe? who said this beer sucked?

Correct. Awful.

But Stubbs’ crooning is the prefect distraction.

Founders - get your **** together

If you think Dropkick is the sum and total, the apex, of 90s Boston street punk then I truly pity you.

I don’t. I just know how much you hate them.

But I definitely loved Do or Die. Still do. Then things got more and more sketchy as time went on. Gangs All Here was the most disappointed I may have ever been in a follow up to a debut record. Lost their edge completely when McColgan left the band. Since then I’d say they amuse me at best, but I certainly don’t think they’re any good after that first album.

Now see, that's a statement I can get behind 100% Also, Street Dogs > Dropkick. It's simple math. Also, I don't hate them, I just occasionally launch into 10+ minute spontaneous speeches about why I don't like them, it's perfectly fine and natural.

 

[PurityControl88]

I remember reading in a zine that you could smell these guys coming, and that they traveled w a pack of dogs and a keg of homebrew in their van.

Found this first press the other day at the record store. Regardless of pressing, what a tremendous album.

Grabbing something from the "albums I don't usually play since I hate getting up after every song" department. Yes it was already signed when I got it and yes I am annoyed that it has the wrong bassist's signature on it. But it was hard to find in the days before discogs was a big thing.
