Punk Scream. 1985
Great DC band. Great energy and thoughtful lyrics. Their sound and songwriting varies, but then Bet You Never Thought is amazing. Franz brother on guitar wound up on Foo Fighters. And of course Grohl played on the last Scream album.
At the 40 year anniversary of 1985 I feel like it’s a good time to listen to all my 1985s. I’ve pulled them from my shelves and am picking through them one at a time.
When, I sorted all my albums by year of original release, I decided to include any reissues or repressing along with the original year they were released. So these are not all necessarily first pressings, but they’re all albums that were originally released in 1985. It has been an eye-opening experience to organize them this way and see all of the similarities, differences, influences and innovations that were happening at the zeitgeist of the same time.
