In answer to the first post, I was the guy that sang "E4A" with the great band Ignite at the Rhino Room in 1996. It was good sing-a-long hardcore fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-68964179652565415752011-08-24T09:44:14.836-04:002011-08-24T09:44:14.836-04:00Nice to read something about Unity!

I am alive and well now living in Phoenix with my family. Our older brother Dennis unfortunately committed suicide during my senior year in high school at our house. It was devastating to all of us. Later that year (1984) the band basically broke things off. I personally moved out and was going to college and working full time and stopped going to shows and left the "scene" as it were. I still love the music! By the way, I loved singing for Unity along with my good friends Pat, Joe and Joe! I still remember every moment and wish sometimes that I could go back to those times!<br /><br />Rob LynchUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870178332957817355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-53377705235658301272008-12-28T07:46:00.000-05:002008-12-28T07:46:00.000-05:00I personally love the Blood Days record and actual...I personally love the Blood Days record and actually thinks it surpasses the 7" by far. But that's maybe because i grew up listening to the BD-record and didn't hear the original 7" until i was an adult.<BR/><BR/>I like the piercing high pitched vocals and the crisp, fast & energetic, sound on it. And though the cheese factor is there it's still feels sincere.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info btw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-75627122581551873482008-12-23T16:48:00.000-05:002008-12-23T16:48:00.000-05:00The guy who sung the song was the drummer for Unit...The guy who sung the song was the drummer for Unity.

Having seen an early version of the band practice in Pat Longrie's basement, I can honestly say they were an amazing hardcore band. They could be even be compared to Inside Out in some ways-slow, heavy, and melodic songs with screaming vocals. At least some of the songs were released on "Blood Days," but those versions have little to do with the original approach and pale in comparison. There is a WOP tape floating around that was used as source material for early Ignite songs, but I think that was recorded by the later version Joe referred to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2768432211492653817.post-90285379338058396172008-08-28T03:22:00.000-04:002008-08-28T03:22:00.000-04:00Amazing LP in many ways, it's true.

When Ignite played, they covered a Unity "explantion for action" with the supposed "original singer". I think Fred Hammer told me it was the guy who sang before Dubar. Who was the guy who sang the song? He looked like a total "normal dude". It was awesome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
