The Accused - Archive Tapes 81-86


Here's the Accused megapost. Other blogs has already posted other Accused stuff like Martha Splatterhead, Straight Razor, etc. So, here's the other Accused's records that I think were not yet posted. I hope.

Fusing hardcore punk and heavy metal into a furiously thrashing hybrid, Seattle's the Accused invariably described to their style as "splattercore," a reference to their chief lyrical inspirations -- horror films and comic-book violence. 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. With their roots in hardcore, the Accused presaged the rise of the Seattle scene, but never fit into the grunge movement that sprang up around them. 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. Their first release was a split LP with the Rejectors, at which point they were playing straight-ahead hardcore. However, the other members' taste for metal pushed Dahlin out of the band in 1984, and his place was taken by ex-Fartz vocalist Blaine Cook (reverting to his real name after billing himself as Blaine Fart). Powered by Cook's demented vocals, the band issued its limited-edition debut EP, Martha Splatterhead (named after their monstrous new mascot), on the small Condor Records label.Continuing to hone their sound through touring, the Accused finally completed their first full-length LP in 1986; issued on Subcore Records, The Return of Martha Splatterhead established their hyperspeed approach and earned them a deal with the thrash label Combat. During the supporting tour, bassist Batterman was asked to leave, and the group brought in Alex "Maggot Brain" Sibbald as his replacement. Sibbald made his debut on 1987's More Fun Than an Open Casket Funeral, which significantly expanded the group's cult following. The 1988 follow-up, Martha Splatterhead's Maddest Stories Ever Told, featured a guest appearance by Metal Church guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof.Combat subsequently dropped the Accused, who signed with a Seattle-area label called Nastymix, which was primarily associated with rap (specifically, launching the career of Sir Mix-a-Lot). There was also a change on the drumming front: Dana Collins departed in 1988, and was replaced by Steve Nelson for the half-studio, half-live Hymns for the Deranged mini-album. Following his exit, the powerhouse Josh Sinder came onboard in 1989, and appeared on the group's Nastymix debut, Grinning Like an Undertaker, the following year. 1991 brought the Straight Razor EP, and also the departure of Sinder, who joined Tad; he was replaced by Devin for the final Accused album, 1992's Splatter Rock. Niemeyer joined Skin Yard vocalist Ben McMillan in the grunge-metal band Gruntruck, a later version of which included Sibbald and Sinder as well; Sibbald and Sinder would later move on to a new project, the Hot Rod Lunatics. Cook sang for a time with a new band called the Black Nasty, whose lone album was released only locally. - Allmusic Guide

Thanks so much for this! I have a rotting copy of the Accused demos in my closet somewhere that I bought from the band back in the very early 80s & I've always hoped that it would some day be available on disc.

Wow I don't think I've heard this before...have to check it out later...

Splattercore is that not also the term that Broken Bones first (?) used? Also Black Uniforms (from Sweden, with future Anticimex guitarist) I think called their music splattercore or something...

Anyway, thanks for the good wishes bytheway. You KNOW how excited I feel right now.

Haven't checked this out yet. Is this the same as the BAKED TAPES? I have that one and if this is the same release then I won't snatch this one anymore. = >

Punk Rock Daddy said...

I'm not sure Dave, but the Archive Tape here was distributed during their tour in 1987. I think this is a tour-only release.

I've on all occasions liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to kind of rightful dissipate space staring at it as a form of catharsis. In a opportunity, it helps me with meditation, to free lay stress and just fantasize fro nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in place of of dolls and cars I've always collected more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most charmed when I establish the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Shine Appear Laser Crown Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the Toys section. It's like a harmonious box, a spinning top, and a radiance reveal all rolled into one. Which is great diversion! The gyroscope will concoct after about a minute. The laser explanation display with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a rather unequalled bauble that my friends get also been most amused with.

My dogs are also nice-looking eccentric prevalent the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They evermore occupy oneself with the gyroscope as it spins, although at earliest they kept barking at the laser insight advertise, and also because it produces music. But after they got worn it, they've stopped barking but simply maintain following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also attractive amused alongside it. Occasionally it's moral to take pleasing toys on all sides the ancestry so that you can go away the bit of frippery trifle with on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you live fit out foodstuffs or receive changed. The gyroscope is a particular such toy with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a pattern on it, and produces a light show with red, dispirited, and unskilled colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser light show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that renowned but decorous adequacy to consider any redone roomer to the house. The gyroscope is red and negro, making it look very cool, and somewhat macho with that dragon imprint.

The music light inform gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also used this gyroscope to eye-opener my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy matter of decorating the b & b latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser insight show produces a fresh effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the light effects created a rather dreamt-up atmosphere. She loved it, at near the style, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-fulfilment shopping locality for all gifts and ideas in compensation emotional occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser lamp playing gyroscope can possibly be a momentous Christmas gift seeking the toddler or methodical the pet! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a nice reckoning to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can take it as given placing it near the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests reach in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my function still again!
