For Immediate Release

SCREAM EUROPEAN TOUR

After nearly 30 years since first emerging from DCs nascent punk
underground, Scream returned in 2011 with the release of "Scream's
Complete Control Sessions." A seven song EP recorded live in Dave Grohl's
Studio 606. The band will kick off 2012 in style with a run of European
dates!!

Known for their incendiary live shows, urgent mix of punk, Bad
Brains/Clash-inspired dub, and rock-and-roll swagger, the original lineup
of vocalist Pete Stahl, guitarist Franz Stahl, bassist Skeeter Thompson,
drummer Kent Stax and newcomer guitarist Clint Walsh come out
swinging--with nary a hint of the two decades that have passed since last
hearing from them.

What resulted is an EP every bit as immediate as the classic of the DC and NY HCX bands of yesteryear, and brings in to mind visions of MC5, Iggy and the Stooges and Foo Fighters themselves with its reaching spectrum of dynamic songwriting and supply of fresh, stunning and skin-prickling hooks. - Subba-Cultcha

Press: Album Review; Scream Complete Control Session

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0800

District-based hardcore pioneers Scream haven’t issued a studio album since “Fumble,” which was released in 1993 but recorded years earlier. The band reunited in 2009, but “Complete Control Sessions,” one in a series of releases tied to the Complete Control Radio show, is its first album of new material since. It’s as good a comeback vehicle as anyone might have hoped. - The Washington Post

Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0800

"Our personal favorite is “The Year Bald Headed Singers Were In” a melodic rager that features stellar backing harmonies and a riff taken out of the SST songbook" - Revolver Magazine

Mid-period British punk (thinking Generation X, Ruts, Skids) is a useful reference point when it comes to the writing too: every number is handily equipped with a pronounced melodic feel and catchy rhythm guitar hook to boot. Most of these songs are anthem-like as fuh. - Your Flesh

What inspired a new recording at this stage in Scream's legacy? Vocalist Pete Stahl: For us, it was important to record new material if we were going to play shows again. We know people that would come to see us would really just want to hear the old shit ― that's cool and understandable ― but we had to validate the reunion in our minds, so-to-speak. We live in the present and we make music to live in the now as well. We still have a lot to say. - Exclaim.ca

I candidly enjoyed their new material just as much as the original favorites. The melodies ranged from raw hardcore to reggae. Frontman Pete Stahl went right into mixing it up with the audience by crowd surfing and singing along with the fans. - Razorcake
