Anger, Dead Kennedys, Foil, Hogan's Heroes, OS 101
This show was right before Halloween I am pretty sure. A bunch of locals packed it into the OS 101 van and headed up to this show. This may have been one of their first shows since the switch of name from Hogan’s Heroes? I cannot exactly remember the timeline for that swap. Some other bands played this too, but I do not remember them either. Foil was a ska band that had a dude we were going to college with in it. We saw him around campus a lot and he ate lunch with us all the time. They…

Gatecrashers, Intention, No Warning, Rain On The Parade, Shark Attack, Smash & Grab, Tear It Up, To Each His Own
This was, I am pretty sure, Shark Attack’s first show. This was a new band for members of Rain On The Parade and this kid Zack, who was also in Intention and later Smash and Grab and I believe No Warning? I think I had gotten a tape of the demo, so I was pretty amped up to head out to this show. Shark Attack were great and the crowd went off as you can see in the video. They busted out a cover of “Nothing Done,” which is one of my favorite songs. Awesome. I had to really ask…

Fear Tomorrow, Follow Through, Underdog, Vision, Wide Awake
Wide Awake played without their singer. Craig from Follow Through/Fear Tomorrow/etc did vocals. I remember they had some new songs that were more of a later Dischord Records style sound. I think there is a demo too? I was never a big Wide Awake fan. Everything after the intro quickly has diminishing results. Underdog were fine at this show, but you could start to tell some people in the band might not be as into the reunion thing as others. I remember a lot of diving at this show to the point where people were sitting down to be launched…

All Things Considered, Black Turns Green, OS 101, Purpose, Rain On The Parade, Uprise, Vision
We went up to this show with OS 101 in their van I think along with Jenn West and a few other people. They got a decent reaction, which was always pretty hit or miss for them. I don’t remember anything from Rain On The Parade’s set. Black Turns Green had future members of Purpose. All Things Considered had members of Uprise and a few other MCYC bands. They did a demo…this might have been their last show? Vision were good and definitely played You and I!!

Breakdown, Grey Area, Hopewell, Implode, Rain On The Parade, Sick Of It All, Tears Of Frustration, Token Entry, Voice Of Reason
This show did not get a big turnout, but Breakdown was playing so you knew we were going to be there! Rain On The Parade cancelled this show, but Tears Of Frustration got added. We got to the show as they began playing, but I do not remember much about their set. Grey Area were a band with members of Token Entry that played really melodic stuff. They had a record on Victory around this time. Breakdown was, of course, the big attraction at this show. They played their usual great set as they did a lot around this time.…

97a, American Nightmare, Damage, Minor Threat, No Justice, Parade Brigade Fanzine, The Nerve Agents, The Scarlett Letter
For some reason, I went to this show alone and the rest of the Manahawkin crew went in a different car. All the Wilkes Barre crew rode in with American Nightmare and I went to dinner with a friend at Southwest Burrito and then headed over to the show to meet up with my friends (and keep hanging out with her because, uh, I had it baaaaaad for her. You may need to add a few As there). I remember watching Damage for a few songs. That was Robby Redcheeks band. The Scarlett Letter had members of 97a, right? American…

When Bob Shedd puts on a gig, you know it is going to be good. Full Speed Ahead are playing a few shows this summer. I missed their last reunion gig in 2006 (?), so I knew I had to head out to this show. This was also my first gig of the year. One of the great things about living in Mount Holly is the commute. To either of our main campuses, it is basically 15 minutes each way. This is great during the school year; many of my colleagues have very short drives to one campus and then…

Bl'ast!, Born Annoying, Defiance Engine, Dillinger Escape Plan, Ensign, Full Speed Ahead, Fury Of V, Manalive, NJ Bloodline, Rain On The Parade, Stag Party, The Explosion, You & I
This was supposed to be a secret show, which was not kept very well, for Bl’ast! on the east coast. They ended up cancelling their tour, but the show goes on with The Explosion replacing them. I debated not going to this show after a few friends bailed on it, but figured I could check out Full Speed Ahead again. The show time apparently got pushed back, so this show ended up going really late. After a dreadful time finding parking, I got to the show before any band had even played. This was going to be a long night.…

Issue three would be the end of Parade Brigade Fanzine and, as promised in issue two, we mostly only reviewed records that were sent to us. Boy were some of these records awful! John and I handle most of the reviews with only the Carry On and Esteem records getting both of us. Issue four would have had a Carry On interview that I think John actually did…? Our friend Ryan, who did a lot of grunt work with me getting this issue thrown together as quickly as it was, jumped in to do a few reviews as well. 200…

Get Real, Vision
This show was at some BBQ in their special event room or something. It was really weird. I had spent the afternoon writing two position papers to wrap up a course at Stockton and then hooked up with Dave Flynn and this dude Mike we hung out with to drive the 15 minutes or whatever to Waretown. This show happened just as Signifying Nothing was taking off, so I took some pictures of Get Real. They were cool and we were friends with all those dudes. Vision were cool at this show even though not that many people were there.…
