OK, so I'm leaving for a whirlwind European vacation with the wife in a couple of days, so before I disappear for 2 plus weeks, here is one last post to keep you interested in the blog. This time out we've got N.C.'s Unsettled... hailing from Greensboro in the mid-90's, these dudes started out as "Core of Reality" which betrays some of their influence. They changed the name, played a mean C.O.C. cover live (Prayer!) and tightened up the sound. To my ears it sounds like early Voorhees meets Ulcer... sick stuff. My friends Pat and Sam at
Passive Fist put this one out. Pat still has the DAT for an unreleased Unsettled Ep I hear, but other than this 7" their released output consists of a couple of compilation tracks. Go to
Fugitive Equilibrium for another recently posted Passive Fist release.... in the meantime, enjoy Unsettled and I'll be back in June with more tunes. Take care.
Unsettled - s/t Ep
I played guitar in this band... Thanks for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah we did record another EP, not as focused as this one if I remember correctly. Pat has said in the past he would send me a CD of it, but I still haven't gotten a copy... Maybe I'll go badger him right now. : )
hey, thanks for the review , i sang / screeched /gargled, on this one , as matt said we did record another ep much much faster and heavier but a tad sloppy in parts but overall i like the songs better than this i have cd copy of it lying around some where and pat has the stuff also me thinks.
ReplyDeletehey thanks man! so cool to see this pop up again. don't know if I knew they changed names after the drummer switch (uh-hem...ha!) anyway, good times, good music- thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteThis one's a ripper. I figured one of us would post this eventually. Thanks for the link, enjoy the continent, and don't do anything Clark Griswold wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys... glad you dug the post! Would love to get my hands on that second Ep but I've been trying to get it off Pat for years, to no avail. If you guys have a copy and want it posted I'm all for it. Sorry I beat you to putting this up, Marc, but your Unforseen post inspired me to throw up more PF stuff!
