Four One One - "Discography"

The last proper music post at What We Want Music Blog was this gem of a download. A fine note to go out on, to be sure. As such, I've brought it over here to keep it going, should the mediafire account at some point become inactive.
---------------------

Four One One were a melodic post-hardcore band, at least that's what I think they would be called these days. When I heard them early in High School it was unlike anything I had heard at the time. I was still being fed on heavy diets of Minor Threat, Bad Religion, & Suicidal Tendencies.Fortunate for me, a local college radio show on Calremont College's KSPC 88.7 played all kinds of hardcore bands and I, like a good HC kid, taped the shows when I could, and caught the radio show playing "Say It" from the band's 7inch. Along with a skater friend of mine whose older brother was a few years ahead of us in school and punk/hc scene, we got exposed to the 411 lp "This Isn't Me".


Four One One was a Southern California melodic/post-hardcore band from the early 90's. Featuring a host of musicians from many varied bands (Farside, Triggerman, Rocket From the Crypt, Speak, & No For An Answer to name a few); the band meshed together mid-tempos of another kind with lyrical content that forced the listener to take notice; and agree or disagree; form an opinion of some kind.

Big drums, a very well blended guitar/bass attack, and those signature Dan O vocals, but being sung/spoken in a way that really shows what he's capable of as a frontman.

This updated post puts things back into one download together. When I had originally posted this, a very sharp blogger noticed I did not have the 411 track from the Discharge Tribute 7inch and promptly uploaded it. This new download includes everything together, including scans for the respective releases. A real 90's Hardcore/Punk gem, enjoy! And again, Jed Butterfield, where ever you are man, thanks again for dubbing "This Isn't Me" for me all those many years ago.

Download Includes:
"Thoughts That Feed the Fire" 7inch
"This Isn't Me" LP
"Flesh (live)" from Suburban Voice Comp. 7inch
"Life Minus Me" from Sign Language 3x 7inch Comp

*Side Note: there are unreleased tracks that apparently only Kevin Murphy has. An interview with Dan O. over at XStuckinthePastX brought this to light, as well as the fact that these tracks; not quite finished for a planned EP; will almost certainly not see the light of day. Really too bad, it would have been nice considering the direction the band had and the direction they were going in.
