Eighties Vs Nineties
Left one (1), right nine (9), back past zero to eight (8), then six (6) : Eli Janney and Brendan Canty record songs with "no rules". Scott McCloud blasts vocals on top. They call it "Skind".
Dial 1-9-8-8 : Janney, Canty and McCloud record two more songs worth remembering. Amy Pickering shines the polished voices. Finished "Move" and "Angels".
Use the 1990 iron : Soulside (the strong left arm of Dischord Records) breaks up. Canty becomes famous. McCloud brings Alexis Fleisig and Johnny Temple to record with Eli. They finish three more cuts, bringing the total to six.
GSVB SIX - YOU ZERO.
The 90s begin. The 80s challenge - an EP is released.
Girls Against Boys "Eighties Vs. Nineties"
The current GVSB touring corps, with the skilled sound dynamics
and supple backbone of rhythm that wishes to move and distort
you, is waiting, bags packed. Johnny Temple, sipping his
Whiskey Sours, Fliesig tapping his foot, while McCloud and
Janney go over, once more, their vocal crossfire.
