Alt Rock, Post Hardcore |
Shudder to Think was an American rock group. Formed in 1986, they released three albums on the Washington, D.C. Dischord
Records label and have been labelled a post-hardcore band, but actually draw upon a wide range of stylistic influences,
including pop. Their music is characterized by a complex mix of these stylistic influences, as well as by technical precision and

Shudder to Think was an American rock group. Formed in 1986, they released three albums on the Washington, D.C. Dischord
Records label and have been labelled a post-hardcore band, but actually draw upon a wide range of stylistic influences,
including pop. Their music is characterized by a complex mix of these stylistic influences, as well as by technical precision and
melodic virtousity.
The band’s first lineup was Craig Wedren (vocals and guitar), Chris Matthews (guitar), Stuart Hill (bass) and Mike Russell
(drums). In this incarnation, the band released two singles and one album (Curse, Spells, Voodoo, Mooses, 1989) before being
signed by the Dischord label. Three albums were then released (Ten-Spot, 1990, Funeral at the Movies, 1991, and Get Your
Goat, 1992), before the band gained greater exposure by touring with Fugazi and The Smashing Pumpkins.
Nathan Larson (guitars) and drummer Adam Wade replaced Matthews and Russell in 1994, immediately prior to a major-label
contract with Epic with whom Pony Express Record was released in 1994. The album’s angular, mathematical post-modernism
earned it an intense cult-like following, marking the record as one of the most original punk albums to ever be released on a
major label. « hide |
