I somehow stumbled upon that interview scrolling through instagram yesterday. It made me realize Neanderthal was awesome and that I always liked Man Is The Bastard's whole vibe way more than I like most of their music.
Cool interview. I never knew how deep the history was for No Use For A Name.
Kinda crazy to see the name Black Army Jacket (interviewers band), just cause I haven't heard that name in awhile. Their demo tape is awesome, definitely worth tracking down.
Off topic, but I've recently come to the conclusion that Boston produced my favorite American HC during the first wave. I was thinking about how many great full-length LP's that came out of there:
The first SSDecontrol, Negative FX, F.U's, Jerry's Kids, Vile, Proletariat, Siege, and what I consider the best HC comp ever, This Is Boston Not L.A.
Boston HC gets a bad-rap as being meatheaded and jockish but I don't think they were any worse than any other regional scene.
If anybody has a bootleg copy (or an original you don't want) of The Kids Will Have Their Say, hit me up.
