Topic: The Accused (band)


  
  What does a band’s moniker say about its music? - CBC Arts | Music
The song was a hit in Canada and the U.S. The band kept the gimmicky name and the rest is rock and roll history.
A band name can also tell you something about a band’s non-musical tastes.
Current bands with animal names, while stylistically distinct from one another, seem to draw from the same pool of Pitchfork readers.

  The Accused - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Accused is a 1988 dramatic film starring Jodie Foster and Kelly McGillis, directed by Jonathan Kaplan.
It is one of the first Hollywood films to deal with rape in a forthright manner.
Jodie Foster has commented in interviews that filming the gang-rape scene was ultimately hardest on the male actors involved, and that she made an effort to "cheer up" her castmates and help them to deal with the awful nature of the scene.

 The Accused - Biography - AOL Music
It was a far cry from the political leanings of vocalist/bandleader Blaine Cook's previous band, the Fartz, but it gave them a definite crossover appeal among both punk and metal audiences.
Some of their key personnel went on to join the grunge-metal band Gruntruck, but in their own lifespan, the Accused were a different enough beast that they weren't able to capitalize on all the attention afforded the Northwest underground.
The Accused were formed in Seattle in 1981, originally consisting of vocalist John Dahlin, guitarist Tom Niemeyer, bassist Chibon "Chewy" Batterman, and drummer Dana Collins.

 The Doors - Music Downloads - Online
Bio: The Doors, one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s, were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by UCLA film students Ray Manzarek, keyboards, and Jim Morrison, vocals; with drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger.
The group never added a bass player, and their sound was dominated by Manzarek's electric organ work and Morrison's deep, sonorous voice, with which he sang and intoned his highly poetic lyrics.
Accused (without much merit) by much of the rock underground as pop sellouts, the group charged back hard with the final two albums they recorded with Morrison, on which they drew upon stone-cold blues for much of their inspiration, especially on 1971's L.A. Woman.

For The Accused to reform and release an album worth of half assed, thrash by numbers music for the sake of nostalgia stood to taint a nearly flawless legacy in my eyes.
Alex Maggot Brain, The Accused bass player, The Fartz guitar player after we had to replace the original guitarist Paul Solger, is now playing with me and the drummer off of the Oh Martha disc, Steve O'ring Nelson in a new deal called Toe Tag.
That decision in the end was one that was based on the culture of the band.

 Dizzy Gillespie - Music Downloads - Online
The leader of two of the finest big bands in jazz history, Gillespie differed from many in the bop generation by being a masterful showman who could make his music seem both accessible and fun to the audience.
During 1948-1949, nearly every former swing band was trying to play bop, and for a brief period the major record companies tried very hard to turn the music into a fad.
In 1956, Gillespie was authorized to form a big band and play a tour overseas sponsored by the State Department.

 Empty Records US - Accused Band Info
Blaine Cook aka Blaine Fartz aka the WIZARD aka Zippy is the former frontman for the legendary FARTZ and the highly influential splatter rock kings THE ACCUSED.
THE FARTZ were a bloody raw political hardcore band in the early eighties whose unbridled onslaught of noise and fury earned them a roster slot on the then burgeoning Alternative Tentacles label.
The whole band was a frenzy of epileptic gyrations although Blaine's high flying leaps and bouncing off the walls like a deranged gnome were definitely the highlight.

 Cover Band?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The argument that we are a cover band is simply that "Hook Water Wolf" is just basic blues fare that is a recording of a cover blues band just rehashing the same old worn out tunes that you hear in every venue across the good ol' USA.
In the broadest definition, a cover band is a band that "covers" or performs songs by other bands or artists.
In effect, club date blues bands are a very specific subset of "blues cover bands" and provide an efficient mechanism for delivering live blues to the listening public.

 The Accused
Which may explain why The Accused try to incorporate some godawful funk metal and rap delivery into what should have been a straightforward thrash album (similar to their second album).
Out of nowhere, The Accuseds burst back forth with an album that is neither insane nor predictably metallic -- this is what I think you would call death metal, but I could be wrong about that.
In summation, The Accused were a Seattle thrash band that sprang up out of a hardcore punk band called The Fartz.

Although often accused by the band for playing too many and too loud low reggae notes, Marc's actual influences are Paul McCartney, Chris Hillman and Chris White.
Marc was last to join the band, after oddly auditioning for the role of lead guitarist (!?!).
