a band without a name.....
or "fun with hypertext and hardcore"
the story
In late January of 2004 three young men residing in the
Schenectady, New York
area, equally involved with the local and national hardcore and
punk underground music scene decided to come together and combine there musical and creative talents toward the creation of a new extreme music
group. This group initially called "Codename Trixie" began composing and playing music with a few short, loud, and easily structured
musical pieces and a few cover songs from 80's hardcore bands such as
Black Flag and
Minor Threat,
and British anarcho punk supergroup
Conflict.
Slowly, the group began to formulate heavier songs with a somewhat philosophical and literary twist which lead the group to dub what they
played as "Intellicore". However, as the group progresses both structurally and lyrically, a majority of the members of the group
expressed a desire to change the name of the band to something more serious and befitting for the group's developing brand of experimental
hardcore.
the problem
There in lies the rub. What new name should the up and coming New York experimental hardcore band go by?
the musical content
The reasoning behind the name change comes from the growing development of the band's musical stylings and lyrical content. Originally, the
music written and performed by the group was largely styled after original 1980's era hardcore punk music with its element of simplicity
in structure and lyrics. As the group progresses, the style of music changes. While the music the group creates is still significantly
influenced by 80's hardcore punk in its simple form, the music seems to move more towards the extreme or hardcore style of
underground music. What makes the music performed by the group somewhat different from conventional modern day hardcore or other core
type bands, is that the songwritting and vocals of the group in combination with the simplicity of the music creates a somewhat new genre of extreme
music that tends to be a cross between
screamo
and curent hardcore bands with (double bass drum absent)along with the simple stylings of 1980's hardcore. Additionally, the group is further influenced by
grindcore
Itis because of this musical progression that the group seeks a new title to better portray its "new" sound.
the requirements
While the group is open to anything, the band believes that they would best benefit from a name that has some level of meaning, is more than a
single world or "The insert name ", and should derive from a Latin language root, philosophy reference, or literary reference. There
currently are a number of names copied down from the minds of the group members compiled in one
list
in one that some members of the group have proposed. If you have any ideas orwish to comment on a name please contact the group at:
[email protected]. Any help or comments that you could provide would be deeply appreciated.
