Darkbuster

Boston’s Darkbuster formed in 1996 around vocalist/guitarist Lenny Lashley, bassist Mike Gurley, and drummer Eric Edmonston. Fueled by inexpensive beer and memories, the hard-drinking punk clothing documented and self-released a nine-song demonstration in 1997 that established things up effectively for 1999’s 22 Tracks That You’ll Under no circumstances Want to listen to Again! With the proper amount of rate, laughter, stupidity, and catchiness, the record became a word-of-mouth achievement around Darkbuster’s indigenous Brockton; it included such tongue-in-cheek strikes as “I Hate the Unseen” and “Amazing Royal Shaft,” the last mentioned with precious lines like “It isn’t as funny since it noises/My young lady fucked the vocalist from the Royal Crowns.” In 2000, solid regional support helped the music group — which right now also included second guitarist Paul Delano and brand-new drummer Danny O’Halloran — earn WBCN’s annual Rock and roll ‘n’ Move Rumble. Launching a divide with Tommy & the Terrors in 2001, Darkbuster made a decision to consider their show on the highway that summertime. The monthlong trek proceeded to go well gigwise, but truck complications and close quarters demonstrated an excessive amount of, and Darkbuster split up on the tour’s end. People went on to try out in various various other local works, including Lenny & the Piss Poor Young boys, Avoid A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR, Linus, the USM, as well as the Marvels. non-etheless, the Boston demand for the people never really passed away and Darkbuster made a decision to re-form for a few gigs in 2003. The Dvd movie Drink and Fall Over made an appearance that same season, and finally, the quartet of Lashley, Gurley, Edmonston, and O’Halloran documented a new record ? la 2005’s A Weakness for Spirits. After its conclusion, Edmonston exited and O’Halloran completely overran the drum package (that they had both been splitting drums and electric guitar) to create area for guitarist/organist Amy Griffin (the Raging Teenagers, Avoid A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR). Spirits was after that reissued by I Scream Information in August 2006.
