This Straight Edge band is the stuff of redding legend... no one dude has ever claimed edge so hard and broken edge even harder as Anthony and it makes sXe anthems such as "We'll! Stick! Together! We're gonna be straight edge forever!" completely hilarious and awesome. Anthony is a hilarious dude and he's even getting a sXe memorial tattoo on his inner thigh reading "true till then" with the date he broke edge. I filled in on drums for a while after Chris quit/was fired (don't remember) right before they broke up, it was a lot of fun and I hope if they ever do a mock reunion one day that I'll be a part of it.

Skeletons were a short-lived hardcore punk band, I think less than a year. Its members went on to play in the Separation and A Public Infection. Skeletons did one small west coast tour with SIS, and while in Salt Lake City, we convinced the local dudes (who are fiercely opposed to circle pits) to grab Joey "Moonboots" and pretend to drag him outside for a beating when he started a circle pit while we played, which of course we called him out and egged him to do. It didn't really happen to plan cause I think the dudes felt too bad, but he was pretty scared nonetheless, haha. Anyway, Skeletons ripped and they shouldn't have called it quits so soon.

Some Still Believe was a Straight Edge hardcore band that existed from 2000-2002, but in that short time recorded a lot and played a ton of shows. They were the first Redding hardcore band to really tour and play out of town a lot and lots of good times were had moshing at their shows, though I barely knew any of them at the time for some reason (makes no sense, as I had been straight edge for quite awhile already by the time they came about). Duane Harris helped me with the proper tracklistings and art, in fact he even wrote something for each recording so instead of the usual description I'm going to just post what he has written! Enjoy!

"So yeah, here is the first demo. Recorded with that fool Bill Staeck at Patchcord studios in Redding, he was not siked on us and was moody as shit with us. In any case we didnt care, we wanted a demo! We WANTED to be Ten Yard Fight so bad and I think thats pretty apparent with the cheesyness of it all but hey, we had fun doing it. We were not serious whatsoever at this point but that is what was great about it! We seriously only played a handful of shows at this point before breaking up." - Duane Harris

"We broke up in 2000 and decided to to get back together later in 2001 and be I guess a little more "serious." We got a little better at writing music and didnt want to be a TYF rip off anymore, and do our own thing the best we could. We recorded with Bill Staeck at Pachcord studios again but it sounded way better this time. Nate Relph was no longer in the band however he still moshed hard for us and even roadied for us. Anyways, That is when Mike Quirk joined at 2nd guitar. This is when we started playing sacto and the bay area more after this demo came out. On a side note, the only song we still played from Demo 2000 when we got back as a band in 2001 was "Dedicated Few." We were so fucking ridiculously straight edge at this point haha. Oh yeah we had some extra time in the studio so we recorded "Big Mouth" by Gorilla Biscuits. The take you hear on there is all live and played really fucking well for 1 take and for guys who could barely play! That is Taylor Smith and Dave Maslin doing the talking at the beginning of the song trying to get the "Yo sucka...." part down." -Duane Harris

"We were told by Jesse Van Diest when he was playing in AN to contact Martyr Records in NY as he thought Steve would be into us. An email and package sent later and next thing ya know Steve called and wanted to put our 7inch out. The only bad thing was that he wanted specifically like 5 of the demo songs he liked a lot to be re-recorded for the record. We were not in any situation to be picky so we did it and only we able to get 3 new songs written. That always bummed me out as I wish the songs we recorded after this would have been on this record. Oh yeah, we recorded at Pus Cavern studios in Sacto with Eric Broyhill who was fucking badass. Mike Hood was there the whole time to help "Produce" and it was shortly after he broke edge and he was drinking 40's the whole time and telling us he was just on "straight edge" vacation the whole day! He provided great entertainment for us. Oh yeah, Tim left the band shortly before recording and Ross joined and Mike moved to bass. Our record release show was at Che Fest in San Diego. However before the regular press record came out after we had all moved to San Francisco and sadly was no longer a Redding band anymore by definition." - Duane Harris

04. You Lose

Lineup:
Matt McCall - Vocals
Duane Harris - Guitar
Mike Quirk - Bass
Nate Corbin - Drums

"Shortly before I made the move to the bay i wrote these 4 songs and we recorded them once again with Eric Broyhill in Sacto and once again Mike Hood was there to help "Produce." These were originally meant to be on a split 7inch with GO TIME from Philly as a split record deal with Martyr and Dead By 23 Records but that fell apart as GO TIME broke up and SSB started to fall apart and take back seat to Allegiance also. On an interesting note, the track "Control" appeared on the WCWW #II compilation but Mike Hood made an error with the track title and said it was "You Lose." No biggie I suppose. Anyways, When SSB decided to break up in August 2002 we made 50 cd-rs with a spraypainted "SSB" on them and included all 4 of what was now going to be pretty much unreleased tracks on them with our "Last show" 7inchs. The Artwork attached to them is what was included with the cd-rs. Oh yeah, Ross didn't play guitar on this recording as I did all the tracks. For 2nd guitar we were sort of in between Ross as he was living in Berkeley going to school and having Dan Smith from AFTER THE FALL and FALLING ACTION who still lived in Redding. While Dan never recorded with SSB he will always be a member also. (He did do back up vocals on this recording though). By the time the band broke up Ross was back as guitar again though." - Duane Harris

Falling Action played relatively straight-forward sXe Melodic 90's Hardcore in the vein of Reach the Sky or early Trial. I liked this demo, dudes in this band previously played in Cutshort and later went on to After the Fall, Breaker Breaker and American Nightmare. Amusingly, their geocities page is still up, you can catch great midi versions of popular songs on their page. haha. Ripped by Nate Corbin.

This live recording came off of the PA at 924 Gilman's annual Halloween show in 2006. The idea is that Gilman picks a theme each year and the bands that play the show have to cover another band in it's entirety, this year was 80's punk/hardcore, and we chose Youth of Today. We dressed, talked, and acted like YOT that night, I even cut my hair into an 80's posi-top and bleached it. Overall this was one of the most fun shows I've been to and I'm glad I got to participate. Anthony Anzaldo (of Ceremony fame) sing the Project X song. The first song comes in a little weird because the soundguy pressed record too late, so I spliced the audio from a hi-8 videotape of the show. Here was the flyer:

This is Set it Straight's first record. Though we recorded it in June of 2004, it didn't technically come out until January of 2005. I finished the layout in November 2004 though, hence the 2004 date, and I remember Mike Hood (totally righteous dude who owns Westcoast Worldwide Records) wasn't pleased that the info was inaccurate. In any event, by the time it came out we were already done with newer, better songs and were booked to record what would eventually become the split 7" with Phoenix, AZ's Where Eagles Dare, and we felt that the cd represented what were were doing in 2004. Though little more than a glorified demo, this cd did pretty well and we actually sold out of the 1000 copies we had pressed (thanks to Till Death's battle of the bands luck). There's been talk of this record being repressed on various labels but I don't know if it'll ever happen. If it does I'll be taking this down. Until then, enjoy!
