Rosemary's Babies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosemary's Babies was an (almost) straight edge hardcore band formed in Lodi, New Jersey in 1980. Its Members included J.R. - Vocals, Post Mortem (Robert Montena) - Bass, CA Richie (Craig Richardson) - Guitar, and Eerie Von (Eric Stellman) - Drums. The band was active until 1983 and produced a 7" EP titled "Blood Lust", released on the band's own Ghastly Records. A 2004 CD, "Talking to The Dead," includes the EP tracks, new songs, and tracks recorded live at CBGBs NYC May 15, 1983.
The band's early musical influences included The Misfits, and DC bands such as Minor Threat, The Bad Brains, and State of Alert (featuring vocalist Henry Rollins). Other stylistic influences include films such as A Clockwork Orange and Caligula.
Rosemary's Babies was notably active in the New Jersey and New York hardcore punk scenes of the early 80's, and all band members continued to work in the music industry after the demise of the band. Most notably, Eerie Von moved on to work with Glenn Danzig in Samhain -- the band later added guitarist John Christ (John Knoll) and drummer Chuck Biscuits (Charles Montgomery) and changed its name to Danzig.
