Double Negative is an all-star hardcore band from Raleigh, North Carolina. Guitarist Scott Williams (aka: Epic Warfare) previously played in American Lore (with Mike Dean from C.O.C.), Fight 4 Life, Second Coming, Days Of..., Dixie Automotive, Garbageman, Daddy and Volcanos.[1] Drummer Brian Walsby has been in California's Scared Straight, Willard, Shiny Beast and Patty Duke Syndrome (with Ryan Adams),[2] as well as Wwax, Daddy, Siberian, Snake Nation (with Mike Dean and Woody Weatherman of C.O.C.)[3] and even the final Polvo line-up that recorded Shapes before they disbanded.[4] Singer Kevin Collins (aka: KC) was in Subculture, Days Of and Erectus Monotone.[5] Bassist Justin Gray was in Dixie Automotive, Big Dan, Willard, Garbageman, The Rails, and The Step Gods.[6]
Their debut release The Wonderful and Frightening World of... LP came out on No Way Records in 2007. The 3-song Raw Energy EP was released in 2008. A burglarized practice space in December 2009 delayed their next release when a 16-track portable Korg was stolen containing the almost-complete LP. The band was finally able to deliver their sophomore release Daydreamnation, on July 27, 2010.[7]
They played the "Hidden World" fest in Toronto, Canada in October 2007, and had an 8 page feature interview in the August 2008 edition of Maximumrocknroll (issue #303).[8] In September 2010 they toured Europe for a handful of dates, supporting their Daydreamnation LP.[9]
