PARIAH
UNETHICAL EP, CD, SELF-RELEASED, 2007
IF MEMORY SERVES CORRECT, PARIAH WERE A THREE-PIECE FROM SOMEWHERE IN ARIZONA. THEY PLAYED A UNIQUE BLEND OF SIMPLISTIC PUNK WITH PHASED, DISTORTED GUITAR AND GRAVELLY, SNOTTY VOCALS THAT SOUND LIKE A MIX BETWEEN BILLY CORGAN AND AXL ROSE (IN A GOOD WAY, SOMEHOW). THE CREDITS ON THE COVER LIST THE LINE UP AS BOB ON GUITAR AND VOCALS, ANDY SECT ON BASS AND VOCALS, AND CHARLIE O'RYAN ON DRUMS. IT WAS RECORDED BY RYAN BUTLER AT ARCANE DIGITAL RECORDING. ALTHOUGH AMAZON MUSIC STATES THAT THE COPYRIGHT FOR THIS RECORDING IS FROM 2011, THIS CD-R WAS OBTAINED FROM THE BAND AT A SHOW THEY PLAYED WITH ANARCHO-PUNKS THE AMERICANS AT THE HAWAII HOUSE COLLECTIVE IN THE COLLEGE AREA OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNA, IN LATE 2007 OR EARLY 2008. IT'S A SHAME THAT MYSPACE HAS BECOME SUCH AN EMPTY SHELL OF WHAT IT ONCE WAS, BECAUSE A LOT OF THE INFORMATION FOR THESE POSTS COULD HAVE BEEN FOUND THERE IF IT WERE STILL AVAILABLE. AT THE TIME, IN 2007/2008, THIS CD WAS IN REGULAR ROTATION IN THE CD PLAYER IN THE VAN (OR WAS IT THE FORD EXPLORER?). THERE ARE MANY ARTISTS AND BANDS UNDER THE NAME PARIAH. THIS IS THE ONE FROM THE MID 'OO'S FROM ARIZONA. TEN TRACKS OF RAUNCHY DESERT D.I.Y. ANARCHOPUNK. GOOD FOR BUDDING RELATIONSHIPS OF YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING EACH OTHER, AUTONOMY AND THE WORLD WITHOUT PARENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
