Scream
Complete Control Sessions EP
SideOneDummy Records [2011]
Fire Note Says: Scream return with 7 solid songs of punk rock!
Album Review:
"Life is a whore, time is a bitch" says it all in kick off track "Stopwatch", which welcomes back Scream after nearly 30 years since first emerging from DC's punk underground. The Complete Control Sessions is a
seven song EP recorded live in Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 back it February and it picks right up where the group left off on their 1993 Dischord Records release Fumble. From the more sing a long tracks like "Elevate" to the visceral attack of "Jamin At 606", Scream comes off completely energized and fresh, as this EP will definitely surprise new fans checking the band out and have longtime followers finding their old t-shirts. Scream represents a style of music that is harder to find in today's scene but bands could take a lesson here, as the Complete Control Sessions showcases a standard punk rock model well done with the original lineup of vocalist Pete Stahl, guitarist Franz Stahl, bassist Skeeter Thompson, drummer Kent Stax and newcomer guitarist Clint Walsh that will give you a revved up 20 minute listen again and again!
