CHARLES BRONSON: COMPLETE DISCOCRAPPY
Charles Bronson was a powerviolence band from Dekalb, Illinois, extant 1994 to 1997. Charles Bronson borrowed from the early powerviolence of Infest, who blended youth crew hardcore with the velocity and dissonance of thrashcore.
Youth Attack Records put together a two-disc "Complete Discocrappy", comprised of well over 100 songs of fury-core, most of which are under 1 minute long, and a good many of which are under 30 seconds. In fact, the longest song on the album is only 1:31, most of which is made up of a Charles Bronson movie sample; the shortest track on the album is 4 seconds long, although the actual song only lasts for about 1 second.

BEYOND: NO LONGER AT EASE
In January of 1988 on Long Island, Beyond arose out of the ashes of a high school battle-of-the-bands outfit called Third-Planet, when the temporary singer of that band, Tom Capone decided to get a serious band together.
Tom recruited drummer Dom Baiocco, bassist Lance, and singer Kevin Egan. They quickly wrote about a dozen songs and recorded a demo.
After the huge impact the demo made, Tom decided to get more fully-committed band members. This is when Alan Cage took over on drums, and Vic DiCara came in on bass.

MOONDOG: DEMO
Moondog was the short-lived project that Walter Schreifels formed right after Gorilla Biscuits broke up and just before starting Quicksand. Schreifels wrote a few songs and quickly went right into the studio to record them with GB's drummer Luke (Walter handled all of the guitar, bass and vocal chores). After the recording, he assembled Tom Capone on guitar, friend Howie on second guitar, Luke Abbey on Bass (who played drums on the recording) and Arman Majidi (of Sick Of It All fame) on drums to play Moondog's first (and only) show at CBGB’s. Once the unit started playing together, Schriefels decided Moondog wasn't a fitting name and they changed it to Quicksand (Luke was replaced by Alan Cage and Sergio Vega was recruited on Bass).
