::::: BIOGRAPHY :::::
1993. Cupertino, CA. Right in the heart of what was soon to become (for a time) the new economic heart of America, Silicon Valley, came a hair-raising, filling-rattling scream of rage. Hidden behind the pristine office parks and suburban strip malls, a seething force of paranoid aggression was brooding, and its name was Mohinder. For a little over a year, Mohinder captured the attention of the Bay Area’s alienated hardcore underground, providing a Northern California counterpart to the burgeoning San Diego art-punk scene (Mohinder, like Heroin, Antioch Arrow, et al, was associated with the notorious Gravity Records) with their brief but absurdly powerful bursts of shambolic noise and instantly legendary live performances. By the end of 1994 Mohinder was only a memory, the brevity of the band’s existence a testament to its unsustainably fierce, almost superhuman energy.Mohinder’s four members went on to form a number of noteworthy new bands, including Jenny Piccolo, Calm, Makara, the Anasazi, Duster, Valium Aggelian, Haelah, Eiafuawn, El Buzzard, A-Set, Breasts and Big Thicket. GSL’s Discography collects Mohinder’s complete musical output — the two EPs they put out on their own Unleaded imprint, their one Gravity EP, and live performances recordeed at the Gilman in Berkeley and on KZSU Stanford radio.

Heroin

::::: FACTBOX :::::
artist:
HEROIN

label:
Gravity Records, Vinyl Communications

members:
Matt Anderson – vocals
Ron Johnson – bass

 origin:
San Diego, California

years active:
1989 – 1993

Scott Bartiloni – guitar
Aaron Montaigne – drums
::::: BIOGRAPHY :::::
Heroin was a forerunner of the screamo subgenre of hardcore punk. They were noted for the psychological intensity of their songs, which tended to be very short and include extraordinarily fast drumming andscreamed vocals. Heroin only released a handful of vinyl EPs and singles, primarily on San Diego record label Gravity Records; the group’s debut 7″ was also Gravity’s first release. These releases were typically packaged in enigmatic ways, such as in a sleeve that looked like a grocery bag. A complete discography was later compiled on the Heroin CD in 1997, also issued on Gravity.The band split in 1993 after its members decided amicably to move on to other projects. Members went on to play in groups such as Antioch Arrow, Clikatat Ikatowi, and Second Story Window; vocalist Matt Anderson also worked with A Minor Forest, Mohinder, and Angel Hair. Matt and Scott even played in the legendary San Diego punk/hardcore band, Battalion of Saints from 2005-2008.Though the group was active for only four years and received little attention during the band’s actual lifespan, the release of the Gravity compilation, as well as later accolades, resulted in their receiving considerable posthumous acclaim. Geoff Rickly, lead singer of Thursday, named Heroin as one of his major influences. Allmusic called the group “one of the defining innovators in early ’90s hardcore”. In 2008, Alternative Press named Heroin as a group of significant interest in its profile of “23 Bands who Shaped Punk”, writing that “Heroin never received overdue credit for inspiring the aesthetic that Story of the Year, From First to Last and others eventually took to the bank.”Emo subculture and history website Fourfa describes Heroin’s self-titled LP as “A wall of furious, chaotic noise, vocal-chord-shredding screaming, lyrics of ultimate disillusionment and pain, and just the right amount of melody to pull things together without interrupting the flow of angst.”
