Misery (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Misery (the band) Formed in 1987 in Minneapolis.With the help of Felix Von Havoc, of Havoc records fame, released their first two 7" on their A.Y.F. label (anarchist youth federation).Only 600 of Born Fed Slaughtered and 600 Blindead 7"s were pressed. Born Fed Slaughtered was also rereleased in the UK by Under Siege records, it was a trade for Doom's PE release of Police Bastard.Production Through Destruction was their first LP, released by Intellectual Convulsion (france), a label that sold the rights to Revolver without their consent.Next was the Children Of War 7", released by G.T.G.P. records ( which became Relapse ).A split LP with Japan's SDS was released on MCR (Japan), only 1000 copies were ever pressed, so it is a hard to find gem.The Profane Existence/ Skuld release of their 2nd LP " Who's the Fool" took them on a European tour with Extinction of Mankind in the winter of 95-6, which spawned the release of the EOM/Misery Apocalyptic Crust split on Elderberry (Sweden) CAH records (usa) and sin fronteras (usa).They have toured the US and Canada together a couple times since it's release.Misery have also done splits with Hellspawn (7"), Assrash (7" picture disk), Path Of Destruction (CD, Rodent Popsicle), Toxic Narcotic ( CD/LP Gokart). Midnight/Full 7" (PE), Your Leaders were Lying 7" ( live @ CBGBs on Squat or Rot), The Early Years ( CD/LP on Havoc/ CAH/ Sin fronteras ) was a rerelease of their first LP and first 2 7"s. Production through Destruction was also rereleased by CAH as was Who's the Fool with some 7" tracks by PE.Misery are one of the longest standing bands that were spawned by the anarcho-crust scene of the late 80's, and they still play today with the same line up.Almost 20 years at it and these old folks just don't seem to stop.
