KISS IT GOODBYE Be Afraid cassette 1996

 

Discogs

 

Kiss it Goodbye was a hardcore band from Seattle, Washington, USA that existed from 1996 to 1998.

After leaving the New Jersey band Deadguy, vocalist Tim Singer and guitarist Keith Huckins moved on to form Kiss it Goodbye with bassist Thom Rusnack and drummer Andrew Gormley. Huckins, Rusnack and Gormley were already familiar musically as they had all previously performed together in the New Jersey band Rorschach.

A demo tape was quickly recorded and heavily circulated around the New York City area which responded with high praise. The band decided to leave their New Jersey roots and follow Tim to Seattle. The band recorded their 1997 debut LP She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not for Revelation Records. Produced by Billy Anderson, the album had the same familiar sound that fans of Deadguy and Rorschach had come to know along with Singer's melodramatic screams and ramblings. The tracks "Preacher" and "Target Practice" which were omitted from She Loves Me.. were also released this same year as a 7" EP through Revelation.

In 1997, the band toured with Unsane. They also toured with death metal outfit Obituary. Shortly after the tour, Huckins decided the touring and music were no longer to his liking and was replaced by Seattle hardcore veteran Demian "Headboy" Johnston.

The band recorded material in 1998 for an EP that was to be released by Sub Pop Records but was never released by the label as Tim Singer soon decided to leave the band, effectively dissolving it. The tracks were eventually released by Revelation Records as the Choke CD/7" EP.

DEADGUY Screamin' With The Deadguy Quintet 1996

Artist Biography by Craig Harris

Screaming vocals are set to discordant guitars by New Jersey-based hardcore band Deadguy. Named after the late comedian John Candy, the group adopted an extremely dark and somber approach with such tunes as "Running With Scissors," "Die With Your Mask On," and "Makeshift Atomsmasher." Despite losing their two chief songwriters, one who sang lead and the other who played guitar, they reorganized with second guitarist Pops assuming lead vocals and two guitarists added shortly after releasing their first full-length album, Fixation on a Coworker, in 1995. Although this revamped lineup released an EP, Screamin' With the Deadguy Quintet, featuring such tunes as "Human Pig" and "(Escape From) The Fake Clink," in 1996, the hard-edged sound of the original band was missed. Formed in New Jersey in June 1996, Deadguy was originally comprised of former members of Rorschach, Lifetime, and No Escape.

RORSCHACH Remain Sedate 1990

AllMusic Review by Peter J. D'Angelo 

The debut 12-song LP from New Jersey's Rorschach is a pummeling assault that has the ability to leave listeners feeling nearly brutalized after just a few minutes of listening. Chugging guitars straddle the line of metal and hardcore as they grind underneath each track on the record and the expected sinister basslines and crushing drums push things toward an angry resolution. Occasionally, the band ups the ante and bursts into rapid speed metal segues but, even on the slower numbers, Rorschach is a truly torrential-sounding musical force. The group's real muscle is the monstrously evil-sounding screams of singer Charles Maggio. Maggio sounds as if he is shredding his vocal chords on nearly every track, and his explosive screamed rants on genocide, oppression, insecurity, and all of the other staple hardcore topics are frightfully convincing. Granted, this is pretty much a one-trick pony and, if thunderous hardcore tracks are not your thing, then there isn't really that much to get out of Rorschach. On the other hand, if you consider yourself an aficionado of the genre, then this is well worth hearing. Remain Sedate is unrelenting from start to finish and, for a record made during what are slowly becoming the early days of hardcore, it really is an amazingly heavy creation.
