The campus announced last May that it would allow University Police officers to be armed in certain situations. In doing so, it joined the ranks of public universities in at least 35 states which have opted to equip their police officers with guns. At Stony Brook, officers will carry arms when: *responding to calls involving the us or possession of a deadly weapon. *responding to all in-progress felony calls such as homicides, armed robberies, burglaries, rapes and assaults. *stopping motorists to enforce vehicle and traffic laws. *serving arrest or search warrants. *escorting cash transports. -*monitoring metal detector screening. *transporting prisoners. *on orders of the director of University Police in those limited circumstances in which there is a threat to life or safety. They will not carry arms while on foot patrol, at major events where crowd control is the primary function and at University Hospital or the Long v?

    our first show at an Amherst youth center. Scott Helland’s brother Eric’s band Mace played; they became The Outpatients. Our first Boston show was with DYS, The Mighty COs and The AMERICA’S HARDCORE FU’s. It was very intense for us. We were so intimidated. Future generations will fuck up again THE OUTPATIENTS got started in 1982 by Deep Wound bassist Scott Helland At least we can try and change the one we’re in and his older brother Eric “Vis” Helland, guitarist/vocalist of Mace — a 1980-82 — Deep Wound, “Deep Wound” Metal group that played like Motörhead but dug Black Flag (a rare blend back then). The Outpatients opened for bands like EAST COAST Black Flag, Hüsker Dü and SSD. Flipside called ’em “one of the most brutalizing live bands In 1980, over-with small cities and run-down mill towns across the Northeast from the period.” 1983’s gnarly Basement Tape teemed with bored kids with nothing to do. Punk of any kind earned a cultural demo included credits that read: “Play loud in death sentence in the land of stiff upper-lipped Yanks. That cultural isolation math class.” became the impetus for a few notable local Hardcore scenes. CANCEROUS GROWTH started in 1982 in drummer Charlie Infection’s Burlington, WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS MA bedroom, and quickly spread across New had an active early-80s scene of England. They played on a few comps then 100 or so inspired kids. Western made 1985’s Late For The Grave LP in late 1984 Mass bands — Deep Wound, at Boston’s Radiobeat Studios (with producer The Outpatients, Pajama Slave Steve Barry).

    Brian Gathy interviewed by John Davis March 25, 2020 Phone interview 0:00:00 to 0:31:38 ________________________________________________________________________ 0:00:00 John Davis: Today is Wednesday, March 25th, 2020. My name is John Davis. I am the Interim Curator of Special Collections in Performing Arts at the University of Maryland, speaking to Brian Gathy of Yet Another Unslanted Opinion fanzine, which I believe ran for five issues. Is that right? Brian Gathy: That’s correct. Davis: And that was about ’85 to ’86 or so? Gathy: Yeah. That sounds right. I feel like we did a sixth issue that was kind of just a quick hodgepodge, but my memory could be wrong. We'll just say five, to keep it safe. Davis: So before we kind of get into the zine itself, could you tell me about how you got interested in punk in the first place, and what it was like growing up around the D.C. area at that time? Was it D.C. punk that got you first, or was it punk from outside of D.C. and then you learned about what was happening here? What was it for you? Gathy: It’s kind of interesting, ‘cause I literally just talked about this topic on my podcast. But I moved to D.C. in ’83 from Virginia Beach, and I had gotten into punk in Virginia Beach. I had some friends at school that—a group of kids that would play music on the bus, and they had stuff like Black Flag and all that sort of thing, playing on a boom box.

While magazines kept publicizing the "death of punk-rock", hardcore became a pervasive movement that did not leave any town (or country) untouched. As if galvanized by its own death, the movement took on a life of its own and became a genre within the genre. In the 1990s that genre, in turn, spawned a number of sub-genres. First and foremost, there was "emocore", the style invented in the late 1980s by Rites Of Spring and the Washington contingent. Their "emotional" hardcore alternated quiet and furious musical parts, admitted moody arrangements, indulged in time changes and mid-tempo rhythms, leveraged emotional singing that could whisper as well as shout within the same song, and was not limited to the short/fast format of hardcore. In other words, it was almost the negation of hardcore. While the genre was, by definition, rather loose, bands that fell into the category during the 1990s included: San Francisco's Jawbreaker, with Unfun (1990); Oregon's Heatmiser, the group of songwriter Elliott Smith and bassist Sam Coomes (formerly of Donner Party), with Dead Air (1993); Los Angeles' Weezer, the most successful of the batch, with Weezer (1994).

  • John "Stabb" Schroeder - Government Issue
    John "Stabb" Schroeder - Government Issue May 27, 2005 Photo Credit: www.telepolis.com I have to explain about how this all came about. I had covered The Exploited show when they came to Dallas. I had gone with a friend who is a really big punk fan. I enjoyed the show immensely as it was the first punk show yours truly ever went to and I've managed to go to a few more in the interim such as GBH and The Vibrators. A little later on we're discussing punk music and this one girl was trying to get in good with my friend. What's the best way to get in a guy‘s pants? Make like you're so into whatever he's into. So she goes on about how much she loves punk music and I ask her what punk bands she is into and she goes on about The Ramones and The Misfits. Now by the time I know about these groups they are mainstream. By the time I hear about them they are mainstream and I wanted to hear about some bands I had not heard about. My friend tells me that if I want to know about punk I have to dig deep. A few months later I had the opportunity to review a DVD of Government Issue. My friend tells me I need to watch this DVD so I did and then he tells me I need to find John Stabb and talk to him. So I get my happy ass on the Internet and lo and behold I find John.

  • The Punk Remains the Same
    The Punk Remains the Same “GI carried the torch for traditional Hardcore Punk.” -Steve Huey, All Music Guide Government Issue (often just GI) was an American Hardcore Punk band and one of the longest-running bands in the DC Hardcore scene. formed in 1980, GI quickly built a loyal following and released their first EP titled "Legless Bull" through Dischord Records. Many early songs were straightforward hardcore, clocking in at under the one minute mark, but they later progressed into a more melodic song-focused outfit (citing The Damned as key to gaining this catchy sound) and often with lyrics critical of the short-sighted behavior of the scene they aided in creating.
