All the Things They Tried August 31st, 2009

RVA punk in the mid-late 90s was a serious moment in US punk history.  It’s a surprise it isn’t more nationally known.  I chalk it up to marginality of region and multiplicity of style (less subtlety/diversity tends to export better I think).  It was a tremendously creative moment in punk and had a strong effect on the younger generation  If I had to pick a favorite from that era, it would easily be action patrol.  You should find their records and listen to them in costume.
