Dan Yemin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dan Yemin is an influential figure in the melodic hardcore punk rock scene. He played guitar in the early 1990s with the band Lifetime, and in Kid Dynamite in the late 1990s. Today he is the vocalist of Jade Tree Records hardcore act, Paint It Black, and is also still playing guitar in Lifetime, who reformed in late 2005. He also plays bass in Armalite, whose debut album is available through No Idea Records.

Dan usually performs without shoes. He grew up in Westfield, New Jersey, as did Lifetime's other guitarist Pete Martin.

After Kid Dynamite broke up in 2000, he suffered a stroke. The first Paint It Black album was named CVA which is an abbreviation for Cerebrovascular accident. Unlike most people who would settle down after such an event, he made the most hard and punishing music of his career.

Yemin also has a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology which he earned from Widener University and is a practicing child and teen psychologist in the small Philadelphia suburbs of Ardmore and Paoli.

Dan Yemin has most recently been playing guitar with Ari Katz, Dave Palaitis, Peter Martin and Scott Golley again. The new Lifetime record was released in February 2007.
