so... strike 3 you know I get paid every time that name is mentioned ...just kidding I was the bassist for strike 3 (duane) my boy told me there was alot of name dropping going on here, I would like to say a few things on behalf of those days. They were fun and great and there was definitly a huge scene loyalty almost a brotherhood. I wondered for many years what hapened, then I look to history for the answers. the scene was flooded with the "sounds like bands" just like boston in the early 90s I think thats why NH got such mad props during this time there was something fresh just north...then the scene broke open bands were coming out of the woodwork the whole emo/sceamo/metalcore/nu-metal had just begun and no one was KEEPING IT REAL anymore [(plus the Xstraight edge DogmaX moved in) not that im dogging that but its your choice not the rest of the scene] that turned a lot of people off big time at one point we had stopped playing shows because it was always the same old shit. after S3 split Joel and I tried to start a new band some of y'all may remember (goldsteins book aka ichonysteris) and by that time we were way to late we didnt dress the part any more, during this time I had started a record label and wanted to release a strike 3 discography and move on I thought the kids would enjoy that. thats when we found out that Chris (ex-2nd Guitarist and ex-proclamation, they were an ill band) had burned the "lost tapes" (this is true he told me one night in Concord over a few beers!) at this point in my life its all good and I have moved on I still keep in touch with Adam (the greatest guitarist I have ever known) and Joel (who has been keeping it real from day one no matter how crazy it comes off) I would liike the NH scene to suceed above all even though its not my bag and I think it will with bands like Life at zero, porfeeria(sorry I cant spell this shit) taste of silver, hand choke neck (Montana boys are ill crazy MF), and being able to play with national acts at millys or the bombshelter, but the main advice I have is to KEEP IT REAL ALWAYS and drop any dogmatic stigma that will turn the young people away beacause they are the furture of the scene (the cipher) they must learn from you to evolve to the next level!
