Today, the Friday 5-Pack is giving a big fat shout out to a band that deserves more recognition that they ever got. They were called Dahlia Seed. They were a band from New Jersey that was around in the mid 1990s. They also happened to be the band that popped my cherry as far as being into "local" bands.
Back in the day, they were considered emo. But please, please, please don't be put off by this. Emo circa 1995 sounds absolutely nothing like the pop-punk bullshit that's called emo today. This is much more hardcore based, rock and roll.
They were one of the best live bands that i ever saw. Their female singer was a huge obsession for someone like me (young male of age 15 or 16). She was also beautiful and would twirl her hair when she sang. It was so hot. Not to mention her voice that blends soft beauty with angry passion. Their lead guitarist had an incredible stage presence. He would thrash around violently and make you want to break stuff. And the drummer? Well, he was just straight up awesome.
At about the time that I started listening to them (1996?) they announced their official breakup. I was traumatized. So what did i do? I went to all of their last 3 shows.
Anyways. I'm going to make it really easy for you to become a fan of them. They're website contains MP3s of nearly every song they ever recorded. Go there and start downloading them immediately.
