The mid-nineties were an interesting time
in the world of hardcore. Bands were experimenting,
pushing the boundaries of
what was post-hardcore or indie-rock, and
still punk. GREYHOUSE ignored the constraints
of these different genres, choosing
to write songs that represented their
thoughts and emotions—the way music is
supposed to. Whilst many formulaic and
generic bands conformed nicely into one of
the genres the scene had splintered into,
GREYHOUSE found their own sound. Taking
influences from many, but sounding
like none, they represent this era of hardcore
in a way that no other does. Forever
a band playing basements, not releasing
records, and never touring, they are the
best kept secret of that time. This is beyond
overdue.
