SCAPEGRACE & CONNIPTION

Coregasm got a great response to the HALF MAN post I did a week or so ago so I figured I'd post some other really good NYHC bands. Not really the typical youth crew Revelation NYHC you would think of (not that there's anything wrong with that!). This stuff is raw, ugly, and punk as fuck. Fast and with a tinge of crustiness... and boy do I love it. The bass sounds so distorted on the Conniption tracks and the singer has such a burly voice. Scapegrace just have this awesome vibe going with so much attitude and a bit more of a noisy, discordant, melodic guitar style with screeching vocals. Just check it all out for yourself and see what you think. I've included the other half to the HALF MAN split that was mentioned last week. Enjoy. - EMS

Along with Half Man, Scapegrace are one of my favorite Long Island bands. Amazing stuff. I still have a Scapegrace shirt (one of the few shirts that I bought from that era). Nice bunch of kids too.

Great post! You probably already have it, but a while back, I posted the "Anger and English" comp. on my blog. Both Campaign (pre-Halfman) and Scapegrace are on it.
