Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The first name of the singer for Buzzov*en was?

Answer: Kirk

I have no idea if these guys are still around. Last I saw Kirk he was junk sick in New Orleans. At one time this was a great band.

2. The band Los Crudos is 'from' what city?

Answer: Chicago

I think Los Crudos means 'The Raw'.

3. The classic LP 'Dehumanization' by Crucifix was on which label?

Answer: Corpus Christi

Same label that put out some great records by Rudimentary Peni.

4. Scott and Lyz from Antischism were also in which other band together?

Answer: Initial State

I may remember this wrong but... I'm pretty sure that Initial State was simply Antischism with a different bass player. Sometimes that's the easiest way to kick someone out. Break up and get back together without them.

Answer: The Dayglo Abortions

That was an easy one.

6. The band GO! should be associated with what well known punk venue?

The largest band in music history, literally!

Answer: St Louis

The best band out of St Louis. Ever.

10. What was the first LP by Neurosis?

Answer: Pain Of Mind

One of my all time favorites.

11. Which band is generally considered the originators of 'Crust Punk'?

Answer: Amebix

One could easily argue against Amebix 'starting' the Crust scene. But, it's the most correct answer.

12. B.Y.O. stands for?

Answer: Better Youth Organization

They put out some classic comps.

13. The singer for Citizen Fish was also in which other band?

Answer: Subhumans

I think there were a few of the Subhumans in Citizen Fish.

14. What city was Monster Truck Driver from?

Cool guys, great band.
