thats sorta the case....
for the most part the lineup was:
Will Shatter: Bass
Steve Depace: Drums
Mikal Waters: Vocals
Craig Gray: Guitar
whereas craig formed the toiling midgets (i think?), mikal waters went to god who knows where (i'd like to know any other projects of his!), will and steve became half of flipper.
so yeah kinda.....
man, Will could havea horrible case of genious

by the way, salut for the Get Away quip in the sig... that song has given me more chills than any other song ever written. it doesnt do anything now, because i have overlistened it, but it is probably my favorite song all-time.

yeah get away really does it for me. i'd say "living for the depression" "falling" or "ever" hit me the hardest though.
as i said before, will could be brilliant.

Negative Trend was a great punk band of San Francisco, Italia.
N/C
PS: Negative Approach was also a great punk band, but not of San Francisco, Italia.
PPS: Type O Negative is a terrible non-punk band.

Lyrics to "Mercenaries" could have been written now.
Aside from the Tooth and Nail comp I've not heard anything by these guys. Two of my favorites on that record along with the Controllers tracks. Surely the rest is NOT CRAP. I'll try to find that ep.

Not Crap. Is it okay that I don't think that Will Shatter's lyrics aren't just poetic wankery, that they are actually great (i.e. on 'Black & Red)???
