Most of Vol. 1 is terrific early-'80s Southern California punk. Though Dead Kennedys guitarist East Bay Ray's production on 1982's Rat in a Maze EP is so high-end it sounds more like a Norelco shaver than a set of guitars -- a fault largely corrected by Geza X when he mastered the classic "Making Room for Youth" 7" -- nothing could blunt this youthful, zealous, masterful collision of speed and melody, with the manic vocals of Creetin K-Os. Sadly, K-Os split, and the band's later recordings were more clichéd (sneering, snarling) though still decent. ~ Jack Rabid Complete Studio Recordings, Vol. 1 Music | List Price | $11.97 (You save $2.18) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Punk CDs, Rock | | Label | New Red Archives | | Orig Year | 1995 | | All Time Sales Rank |  101962  | | CD Universe Part number | 1412180 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Sep 01, 2001 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | East Bay Ray; Peter Miller; Social Unrest; East Bay Ray; Peter Miller |

The Washington, D.C. straightedge hardcore punk scene began with Minor Threat. The band recorded two LPs on its own Dischord label, plus an EP and the miscellaneous singles that are collected on this CD. Many of the early recordings on this collection seethe with teen-age angst and indignation. The songs rage against bullies, religious hypocrisy, and the herd mentality.
Other songs, taken from later in Minor Threat's career, feature tighter and more sophisticated playing. Metallic flourishes tinge the guitar work, vocal harmonies abound, and song dynamics vary more than on the earlier record. On certain songs, Ian MacKaye's lyrics address the complexities of friendship, loyalty, and self-expression. "Look Back and Laugh," "Little Friend," ...
| | Still Screaming/This Side Up CD (1993)
Complete Studio Recordings, Vol. 1 songs
$10.65 
Though known primarily as Dave Grohl's first band of note, Scream in fact released its finest material years before Grohl's entry into the band. After the primary wave of D.C. hardcore -- SOA, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Government Issue -- crashed noisily to the shore, kids from the surrounding suburbs, attracted by the sound and fury of the city center, began formulating sounds predicated certainly on the first wave, but with enough outsider flair to be considered unique. Scream was one such band, and probably the finest. Boasting the incredibly gifted vocalist Pete Stahl and his brother Franz on guitar (the two later formed Wool), and rounded out by the rhythm section of Kent Stax and Skeeter Thompson, Scream fought their way into the tightly knit in-scene of D.C. hardcore, and were initially greeted with suspicion as suburban rednecks. Indeed, Scream's music borrowed as much from classic rock -- especially on This Side Up -- as it did from Minor Threat's lockstep speed. The band's first release, Still Screaming, shows the band maturing, trying out the fast stuff, testing their feet in the Bad Brains reggae pool, talking about scene solidarity, etc. It's ...
| | T S O L Divided We Stand CD (2003)
Complete Studio Recordings, Vol. 1 album
$11.79 
Depending on the era, T.S.O.L. was either a hardcore punk band (circa the early '80s), or a heavy metal band (circa the late '80s). And despite the group never truly breaking through to the mainstream (the closest the group ever got was Steven Adler wearing a T.S.O.L. shirt in Guns N' Roses' video for "Sweet Child O' Mine"), they certainly carved a niche for themselves. After taking much of the '90s off, longtime leader Jack Grisham rounded up the troops once more come the early 21st century, releasing their first studio album in 11 years, 2001's Disappear. Proving that this was no one-off fluke, the group quickly issued a follow-up two years later, Divided We Stand. The 2003 T.S.O.L. edition sounds more akin to their earlier punk phase, and since they always had a thing for melody, tunes such as "Serious" and "Sex Not Violence" don't sound too out of step from modern-day pop-punk acts. But not all of Divided We Stand is punk rock fury, as evidenced by the tempo-cooler "Loaded." On Divided We Stand, T.S.O.L. still plays like they mean it -- something that cannot be said for all veteran punk acts that reunite years later. ~ Greg Prato
