If you have any inkling of the history of Detroit punk/hardcore music you owe it to yourself to be at one of these shows.

quote:

Allmusic.com

In the early '80s, Brannon's uncompromising, pointedly aggressive Detroit hardcore outfit Negative Approach, along with Boston acts like SSD and DYS and D.C. groups like Minor Threat, Bad Brains, and S.O.A., established the paradigm for American hardcore music. Negative Approach was just that: the sonic equivalent of a chair through a window, with Brannon venting and ranting frustratedly and indeed, negatively.

The band was also as original and extreme as any early-'80s punk outfit — the rhythmic crush created by Moore and the McCulloch brothers continues to be an undeniable steel-toe to the face.



quote:

Touch and Go Records.

Negative Approach has recently announced three shows coming up this Spring.

The line-up includes original members John Brannon and OP Moore, as well as Easy Action members Harold Richardson and Ron Sakowski.

Hop on a plane, a train, or hitch a skateboard to someone's bumper and catch one of these shows.

05/12/07 - Hof Ter Lo - Antwerp, Belgium
05/26/07 - St. Andrews Hall - Detroit, MI
06/28/07 - Ex-Plex, - Los Angeles, CA

Awesome! Definitely never thought I would get to see this band (especially after missing Touch and Go fest). I'm all over it.

hmmm, my younger self wants to go, but if I go perhaps my older self will get annoyed and ask them if the music really needs to be so loud!
Besides, Iggy and the Stooges are on tour!

Just caught East Action this past Friday at Small's - great show. John Brannon has never lost his impressively loud imposing touch. Good stuff.

Green Day is more comparable to The Temptations than NA.

Really, sport I think you'd like them -- some of their lyrics are reminiscent of some of your posts:

Of the "you old married people are boring" SS posting vein:

quote:

You made your choice
Now there's no turning back
Wasting your time
But you just won't face the facts
Why fool yourself
That you're having fun
When you had your second thoughts
Why didn't you fucking run

Tied Down
You're on a fucking leash
Tied Down
You'll never be released
Tied Down
You wanted it that way
Tied Down
Now there's nothing you can say



And from the Urban vigilante school of posting:

quote:

You've stepped too far outta line
You've ripped us off for the last time
Now you've gone and had your fun
We're gonna kill you for what you've done

Said and Done, Said and Done

Now beware of what you do
Cause we're always watching you
If you ever lose our trust
You'd better fucking look out for us



And of course for the elitist Jelk and your "parasite" buddies:

quote:

One moment you agree
With everything I say
Seemingly honest
You're never in the way
How could I have thought
When I'm not around
The shit you say about me
Stories well thought out

It's when I turn my back
You're ready to attack
A verbal abuse
Is what you choose to use

You must hold a grudge
Against the things I do
Why don't you admit it
Stand up and face the truth
