Abstain by The Proletariat

Biografie van de kunstenaar The Proletariat

Calling The Proletariat A Hardcore Band Is A Big Stretch At Least If You're Talking About Hardcore As A Musical Style. While The Other Boston Bands Were Defining A Local Sound Based On Speed And Brutality The Proletariat Were Melding The Styles Of Their Heroes The Sex Pistols And Gang Of Four To Create Sparse Edgy But Always Hyper-Aggressive Melodic Punk Rock. Although They Had No Experience When They Formed In Southeastern Massachusettes In 1980 By 1981 They Were Already Terrorizing New England With Obscene Pistols' Covers And Their Own Developing Tunes. In '81 They Put Out A 7-Song Demo Tape Called Distortion Which Became Popular With Critics And College DJs. Some Of These Songs Would End Up On Their First LP But Only After The Proles Were Introduced To A Wider Hardcore Audience Through The Seminal Compilations This Is Boston Not L.A. And Unsafe At Any Speed Put Out By Modern Method. Although Lyrically And Musically They Had Little In Common With Bands Like Gang Green And Jerry's Kids The Proles Had The Same Raging Intensity This Was No Small Feat For A Band That Never Accelerated Beyond A Driving Mid-Tempo Dirge.
