  DYS (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DYS was a straight edge hardcore punk band from Boston, Massachusetts, and part of the notorious Boston Crew along with contemporaries such as SSD and Negative FX.
They released two LPs: Brotherhood, an album still held in high regard by fans of hardcore music, and DYS (i.e., self-titled), an album that is more a hard rock or heavy metal album than a hardcore album.
DYS took its name from the Department of Youth Services, a Boston governmental organization infamous for mistreatment of its charges (cases of physical brutality, rape, and professional misconduct are well-documented).

 Negative FX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though the band lasted only a short time, playing only a total of 5 shows (6 flyers exist), the band was well known for their involvement in the local straight edge scene of the early 80's.
Along with members of the bands DYS and SS Decontrol, Negative FX helped to form a group known as the Boston Crew, a notoriously violent group of kids who held a strict, and almost militant, view of the straight edge mentality.
The band members consisted of Pat on guitar, Rich on Bass, Dave on drums, and their high profile vocalist Jack Kelly, who frequently went by the name of Choke.

As some writers have noted, however, the difference between a Utopia and a Dystopia can often lie in the visitor's point of view: one person's heaven can be another's hell.
Time ( 1981) by ELO features tracks that may be considered dystopian or utopian depending on your point of view.
The Wall by the British band Pink Floyd and its film adaptation are considered by many to be the epitome of dystopian music.

To save money [as the band wanted to record the album on a full 24 tracks instead of the usual low-quality 8 or 16 tracks Punk records were recorded on at the time], the group had to record from midnight to 8 AM to get the lower overnight rate.
When the band was writing new material for their next album Jamie Sciarappa said that he'd be moving to Los Angeles and SLAPSHOT therefore once again needed a new bass-player.
The band was to be called Bitter and since the singer and drummer were roadies for SLAPSHOT so it would only be one extra person on the tour bus.

A band surrounded by rumors and is either completely loved or completely hated by their peers is a band that is making its mark in hardcore.
In a time when bands are forced to follow these trends and create hype, One Up continue to play hardcore on their own terms.

 TrouserPress.com :: DYS
On Wolfpack, as DYS expounds the judgmentally self-righteous straight-edge ethos (no drugs, no drink) that became popular in both Boston and DC, Smalley comes off as an admirable idealist and a terrible singer.
Though the debut could simply be tagged and shelved as a chunk of tolerable hardcore, it does contain some bright spots, most notably "Escape," a metalized dirge with heavily delayed vocals.
Satire seemed to suit the band, and DYS is pure metal mockery.

There are bands called Wolfpack and Brotherhood [the titles of two DYS songs]," he says, chuckling.
Formed by ex-Minor Threat bassist-turned-guitarist Brian Baker, Dag Nasty was the prototype of a new kind of punk band: Politics, poetics, melody and outrage were combined into a sound that was as sensitive as it was corrosive.
Smalley quit the band after a year, however, because "the guys in All are like superheroes, in the sense that they do insanely great amounts of touring," he says.

 earpollution album reviews - issue 1.01, january 1999
The band has also left behind the sense of immediate urgency, choosing instead to step back a bit and let the songs--new and old--stand on their own.
The majority of the bands are gothic metal with highly atmospheric embellishments although a few have a fl/death/doom metal orientation.
The press kit for the band says that they were formed in the mid-nineties in Los Angeles, after Igor, Oleg and Zhenya achieved residency and a firm grasp of the American language.

A new guitarist named Crash was added to fill out the bands sound and in the summer of 1990 the band went back to Bunkhouse Studio to record what would eventually be released as the Independence Day EP cassette.
Around this time the band was shocked by the death of former guitarist and brother "Sik Rik" Rick Wimert.
By 1998 Al Barr was the only remaining original member of the band, and having reached his own personal milestone as the only member to see the 10 year mark he decided to disband the Bruisers and pursue his new role as singer for Boston's Dropkick Murphys.

 TAANG! RECORDS- BATTALION OF SAINTS
On Dec. 22, 1994, on an off night during a U.K. Subs tour, nearly a decade after the formation of the original band, the second incarnation of the band recorded two songs in a few hours when the other members were in San Diego (they were in the UK Subs and on tour).
Their new drummer left the band in the middle of their tour, so Gearbox, the drummer of Total Chaos, was enlisted to serve double duty as the drummer for both headlining bands.
The band started working on more new material, and planned to record in the fall of '98, and go on tour after the release of the album.

Soon the band began playing local and out of state shows with False Hope, Outface, Confront and Integrity, the second wave of HC bands from Cleveland.
Erba was bringing in national HC bands like Slapshot, Tad, Government Issue, Burn, Inside Out, etc. and a somewhat not-so-friendly rivalry with Integrity ensued as both bands drew huge crowds and slammed each other in the media.
The band still continued with fill-in singers and bassists, and went to Europe without telling the label or the fans of the band that the frontman had left.

 Literary Terms and Definitions D   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The term is a negative one, and it often implies a lack of skill on the part of the writer.
DYSTOPIA (from Greek, dys topos, "bad place"): The opposite of a utopia, a dystopia is an imaginary society in fictional writing that represents, as M. Abrams puts it, "a very unpleasant imaginary world in which ominous tendencies of our present social, political, and technological order are projected in some disastrous future culmination" ( Glossary 218).
For instance, while a utopia presents readers with a place where all the citizens are happy and ruled by a virtuous, efficient, rational government, a dystopia presents readers with a world where all citizens are universally unhappy, manipulated, and repressed by a sinister, sadistic totalitarian state.

Somewhere along the line everyone changed their minds, sobered up, or ran out of money and the band tried to barf out another album called the Process (based on a goofy religion that reveres both "God" and "Satan," thought up by ex-Scientologists and practiced by Charley Manson and Funkadelic).
Six years in the grave and along comes ReMix Dys Temper, an album of remixes and one re-recording by many of today's hottest industrial and alternative stars.
