 Band Search: SOCIAL UNREST
Social Unrest hailed from Hayward, near San Francisco, in 1980.They soon established themselves as one of the leading forces of the Bay Area early HC Thrash scene.
The band played a lot w/ all the glory bands of the time, when the usual band brawls headed for some changing.
A year later, the band released what is probably their masterpiece (unlike most bands, they never put out a weak record,though),the mighty "Before the Fall" LP (on Libertine in the US, Konurrel in Europe).

 bradley's almanac - a boston music blog
I dug him, and his band, and not just because no other local acts playing at the 242 Main teen center were doing anything like what they were.
So when the band played the Paradise a few months back, it's no surprise that I wanted him in front of the mic as much as possible, and for the first half of the set I was pretty worried...
Catch the band as they continue on tour with stops in Colorado, Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee in the coming week before they head overseas for the rest of the summer.

The band are fast and wiry, but the beat always seems to be leaning to one side.
Henry Cow were one of the first bands to be both seriously interested in making the distinctions between rock and improvisation and "serious" compositional music irrelevant and seriously equipped to do it.
Unrest, newly remastered and reissued on East Side Digital, was recorded when they found themselves in the studio with only half an album's worth of material and punted.

 SPECIAL RADIO :: Special Internet Radio :: Interview with SГ¶nke Lau (Unrest)
At last, being in a band also means to connect your private way of life with that of the band.
These bands also start to fight with other bands before each show about who is going to be the headliner or how many light or sound they are to be given.
As we started with the band after a 3-year-break there instantly were some offers from record companies that wanted to produce some records with us right away but we refused because we didn't think the time was right.

 Pop and Jazz in Review - New York Times
Unrest and Stereolab, two rock bands whose shared tour brought them to the Grand on Tuesday night, are connoisseurs and virtuosos of the drone, but only rarely do they sound similar.
Unrest, a trio led by Mark E. Robinson, is a stripped-down guitar band, whose drones in fast songs usually come from a single strummed chord repeated even when the harmony around it changes; the band also plays slower songs with calm, steadfast bass ostinatos.
Stereolab, a six-member band, is at once denser and more meditative, building its drones from continuous keyboard notes, strummed guitars and sustained noise, lacing them with the airy "ooh-ooh"s and "da-da-da"s of pop songs past.

 Bob Dylan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His enduring contributions to American song are often compared, in fame and influence, to those of Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams, and his place in American and European culture in the 1960s through to the present is unique.
Neither Kooper nor Brooks wanted to tour with Dylan, and he was unable to lure his preferred band, a crew of west coast musicians best known for backing Johnny Rivers, featuring guitarist James Burton and drummer Mickey Jones, away from their regular commitments.
Later in 1967, the Hawks (soon to be rechristened as The Band) independently recorded the album Music from Big Pink, thus beginning a long and successful recording and performing career of their own.

 washingtonpost.com: Teenbeat Records Comes Of Age
The "Extremism" cassette was followed by the first "Unrest!" cassette and 500 copies of the band's first seven-inch vinyl release, as well as cassettes from other Arlington bands such as Clarence, Jungle George, and William and Vivian.
And graduating to vinyl albums, with a unique approach: Unrest's 1987 vinyl debut was pressed in an edition of 1,000, each with a cover hand-decorated by friends, each with its own title.
Unrest's final album was 1993's "Perfect Teeth," and they broke up a year later that same year, with Krauth embarking on a solo career and Robinson and Cross continuing in the short-lived Air Miami.

 Ground and Sky review - Henry Cow - Unrest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Unrest generally piles the composed tracks on the first side and the improvised material on the second side.
As on Legend, the lasting impression that I just can't shake is a band eager to see how many experimental sounds they can cram into one album, regardless of creating a context for these to blossom into something that makes a lasting connection (at least for me).
To appreciate side two, one must understand the boundaries that the band itself had decided to cross, and the recording/editing innovation of its time.

 Purdue Bands -- "I am an American"
A former mayor, and a retired Marine Corps general, Scott was a big fan of band performances infused with patriotism.
Although different band announcers presented "I Am An American" in the early years, the honor of presenting it since 1973 has belonged to Roy Johnson, a Purdue alumnus who was serving as Associate Registrar when he retired after 25 years with the university.
In good times, and in times of national unrest, this important Purdue "All-American" Marching Band tradition, has provided an important sense of pride and continuity to those on the Purdue campus, and to alums scattered around the world, as well as to the Greater Lafayette community and the state of Indiana.

 Unrest: Malcolm X Park: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
More importantly, Unrest can actually pull off the dozen or so costume changes they make during Malcolm X Park's 17-track marathon, never allowing you to forget that behind all the noise, they're still just skinny white kids from the D.C. suburbs.
Unrest's greatest and most frustrating asset is their lyrical obscurity; they drop enough hints throughout their music that you get the feeling they must be referring to something specific, but it's impossible to figure it out for sure unless you're seriously in the know.
But this band's motives have always been somewhat unclear; the most sensible explanation is that they simply wanted to catalog their own personal obsessions without explicit explanation.

 Unrest
Unrest formed in 1983 at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.
They began as an improv instrumental band, taping every practice and never playing the same thing twice.
Kustom Karnal Blackxploitation (1990) was their metal-ish ode to Black culture and Imperial ffrr (1992) found them returning to their avant garde roots while also focusing on sugary pop.

 Unrest: Imperial f.f.r.r.: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Design types, after all, have that thing about minimalism, and this band's stark, elegant sound could strip things down to a strikingly small number of moving parts-- some kind of warm, detailed dream of the indie-rock group as postmodern 50s pop combo.
If the story of this group is that of frontman Mark Robinson gradually admitting he might rather be an English kid from the early 80s, well, their EP of Factory Records covers may be the coming-out party, but this is where it counts.
Because no matter how easy it is to remember Unrest as a racing pop act ("Cath Carroll", "Make Out Club"), the fact is that they were starker and artier than that, and the scattershot experiments of their early releases can still be heard fading into this one.

 Henry Cow [www.progweed.net]
I'm still willing to admit that Unrest is much freer in construction than that album; in fact, the formalist in me took a while to get used to its somewhat more rhapsodic affect, and I found it somewhat baffling at first.
This is one of those rare pieces where I've found myself half-remembering a passage from the middle, and then waiting for it, constantly surprised and startled by the subtly related melodies that never quite resolve into the one I'm thinking of, the listener and the piece playing an exhilharating game of delayed gratification.
It's unusually enigmatic for this band, and it takes on extra resonance with side two's succession of titles, evoking a magnificent hotel being overwhelmed by water, which mutes all sound and leaves nothing but the listener, completely alone.

 Unrest (Synergy) by Henry Cow CD
Where their debut (LEGEND) contained the essential characteristics of the band, it was without UNREST's unified flow.
By the time of UNREST, reed player Geoff Leigh had departed and was replaced by Lindsay Cooper on bassoon and oboe.
UNREST was also influenced by the band's decision to approach the studio as a compositional tool, improvising about half of the album, and by their tour with the German group Faust.

 TrouserPress.com :: Unrest
At Unrest's inception, leader Mark Robinson was an Arlington teenager wedged between (punk) rock and an art place, struggling madly to satisfy his predilections for both the splenetic bashing of local harDCore and the vaporous waft of gray-overcoated Brit gloom-rock.
Those elements would endure, in varying degrees, throughout the band's various lineups and moodswings, but what began as stylistic convolution gradually turned into intricacy, making Unrest — at its peak — one of the underground's most fruitfully unpredictable bands.
While Tink of S.E. is the commonly agreed-upon moniker bestowed upon the band's first widely available album, the diffuse art project was actually titled differently on each of the individually hand-drawn covers that swathed it upon release.

Throughout the previous decade, their innocence was captured on a number of cassette releases, singles, and LPs that featured experimental jamming, noise, and very little songcraft.
Unrest would sign to Warner Brothers and release one more album, "Perfect Teeth," before "breaking up" (to get out of their contract?).

Not really a hard place to hold once a good group clears out the place, though the hags and terrors can be a hassle, hags nuking like mad and the terrors blasting you backwards.
From what I understand drops Jagged Band (sells for around 50pp or so) as common drop, as the rare drop Dwarven Work Boots, heard they drop for around 800pp, might be an old price though.
