GENERAL CONCERN rehearsal
[Originally published: Issue #5, circa 1988]
GENERAL CONCERN is a positive, semi-straight hardcore band from way over in Longview, Washington. The line-up is as follows: Jay (18) on vocals, Paul (18) on guitar, Rick (16) on bass, and Keith (17) on drums. They will soon be going into a studio to record a demo.
This is some raw, pounding HC that, thankfully, is not short on mlody. G.C. packs a powerful punch - actually, crunch is a better word. Heavy, grinding fast parts and really great mid-teapo stuff, plus good lyrics (mainly positive, some political). The only problem is that the sound quality, as on all rehersals, takes away from what is otherwise a fantastic tape. This band has great potential - I can't wait to hear the demo! In the meantime, you should really check out this rehersal.
