Pegboy
Pegboy is an American punk band from Chicago, Illinois with a relatively large cult following. They were founded in 1990 by John Haggerty (ex-guitarist for Naked Raygun), along with his brother Joe Haggerty (drums, formerly of The Effigies), Larry Damore (vocals/guitar), and Steve Saylors (bass). Both Damore and Saylors had been members of Chicago-based hardcore band Bhopal Stiffs, whose 1987 demo had been produced by John Haggerty. Pegboy's 1990 debut EP, "Three-Chord Monte", was also the first release by Quarterstick Records, an offshoot of Touch and Go Records. Steve Saylors dropped out in 1992 after job commitments prevented him from touring. Steve Albini, a longtime friend of the band, filled the bass slot on the "Fore" EP. Former Naked Raygun bassist Pierre Kezdy became the permanent bass player in 1994. After the reformation of Naked Raygun, Mike Thompson took over for Kezdy on bass. Pegboy supposedly played a "farewell" show on New Year's Eve in 1999 but then denied tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Earwig (Pegboy Album)
''Earwig'' is the second studio album by the punk rock band Pegboy. It was released in 1994 through Quarterstick Records. Critical reception '' The Daily Times'' wrote that "Pegboy's combination of classic punk structure with John Haggerty's furious guitar work makes it a band to be reckoned with and marks ''Earwig'' as one of the fall's best releases." The ''Chicago Tribune'' wrote that the band "pours in some of the feel of Seam in lead singer Larry Damore's wistful lyrics, hardened behind a big three-chord grind from ex-Naked Raygun guitarist John Haggerty." ''Trouser Press'' called the album "respectable if hardly revelatory," writing that "the pleasure comes in hearing the Haggerty brothers interact; John sounds like he’s trying to drill holes in the wall of the percussion Joe throws up on 'Gordo.'" ''The Washington Post'' wrote that "some of the tracks tend to blur, but ones like 'You' and 'Blister' achieve a potent merger of pop and wallop." Track listing Personnel ...

Strong Reaction
''Strong Reaction'' is the debut album of Pegboy. It was released in 1991 through Quarterstick Records. Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' wrote that "quibbles about the occasionally melodramatic lyrics, in which the passage into adulthood dissolves into tragedy, are obliterated by the ferocious attack." In a retrospective review, ''The A.V. Club'' wrote: "Skirting grunge, pop-punk, post-hardcore, and emo—all of which were erupting at the time—''Strong Reaction'' has aged with a rugged grace that puts most of its contemporaries to shame."

Cha Cha Damore
''Cha Cha Damore'' is the third album by Pegboy. It was released on October 14, 1997, through Quarterstick Records. Critical reception ''Ox-Fanzine'' wrote that "the Pegboy variant of melodic guitar punk deliberately aims to avoid catchy tralala schemes." The ''Wisconsin State Journal'' wrote that "on each successive recording, the Chicago band's upbeat, elemental pop punk rock sounds ever more invigorating." The ''Chicago Reader'' called ''Cha Cha Damore'' the band's best album.

Naked Raygun
Naked Raygun was one of the first, one of the longest running, and one of the most recognized Chicago punk bands.

In late 2006 Raygun reformed to play Riot Fest and is still active today. Over the years Naked Raygun has 6 studio full length releases, multiple EPs and singles, and a DVD.

Bhopal Stiffs
Chicago hardcore band the Bhopal Stiffs was formed in 1985 by singers/guitarists Larry Damore and Vince Marine, bassist Steve Saylors, and drummer Dave Schleitwiler. The band name is a reference to an ecological disaster which took place in Bhopal, India in 1984. Honing a melodic, mid-tempo approach very much in tune with the prevailing Windy City punk sound of the period, the group gigged steadily, in time becoming the de facto house band at the Chicago bar Exit. In 1987, the Bhopal Stiffs recorded a ten-song demo tape, with the single "Not Just My Head" following on the Dazit label later that year and played gigs in Indiana, Wisconsin, St Louis and many shows in Chicago. Marine exited the lineup in early 1988, with guitarist Ron Lowe stepping in and Larry Damore assuming sole vocal duties; the reconfigured group recorded the six-song ''E.P.A.'' record, issued on the Roadkill label. After contributing "Too Much Pain" to the There's a Fungus Among Us compilation, the Bhopal Stiff ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
