This day in history:

Soulside (with Scream & In Lieu)
September 20, 2024
Turf Club, St Paul, MN

It was great to see Soulside and Scream play in the Twin Cities! They both played powerful, energetic, and politically-infused sets, which is impressive given that both bands have been doing this for more than 40 years! It was also awesome to see them join together on stage at the end for some really fun cover songs including an Egg Hunt cover (see the last photo).

That now seems like foreshadowing since Soulside and Scream just released a split 7" together where they each cover one of the other band's songs, as you can hear on the audio of this post where Soulside covers the Scream classic 'Laissez-faire'. Get your copy!

Photos from this show will appear in my very-soon-to-be-released photo book, One Million Memories Parsed, which documents underground shows I brought my camera to in the Twin Cities from 2021-2026.

A few years ago we did several tours with our label mates Soulside, smashing it down together every night!

We wanted to keep the party going, so we challenged ourselves to cover each other’s music. In Montreal, we went into Indica Studios to do our own take on Soulside while echoing the great lyrics and strong message of their song “Reconstruction”.

Read the lyrics and sing the song and you might recognize the legacy of systemic racism that we still live with today.

We have a new single coming out! We recorded a Scream song with Geoff Turner near DC and it was a b’last. It’s on Dischord and we couldn’t be happier. Scream did one of our songs and it’s no secret that they rule.

Scream and Soulside first played together at the Cubby Bear in Chicago in July 1988.
After a few more shows together that year, they didn’t share a stage again until July 2022, at the Inne Brzmienia festival in Lublin, Poland. There in Poland the two bands met minds, and a match was struck. Soulside and Scream soon released new albums on Dischord Records, then toured together in the US and Europe in 2023 and 2024. This 7” is a gathering of forces and musical admiration to spread a message of love and a litelong commitment to the struggle for true American justice. “Laissez-Faire” was written by Scream and first appeared on Still Screaming (Dischora, 1983).
This version is performed by Soulside and was recorded and mixed in June 2025. “Reconstruction” was written by Soulside and first appeared on A Brief Moment in the Sun (Dischord, 2022). This version is performed by Scream and was recorded in September 2024.

The 7” is available now to pre-order on the dischord site and Bandcamp. taken in Dischord Records by @soulsidedc

Alec Bourgoise painted this great painting, “Study for the Next Step,” in 1989 and very nicely let us use it for the cover of our record Hot Bodi Gram.
He says, “Finally out of storage, framed, and headed to a permanent home. This is one of my favorite drawings, going to one of my favorite people.
This drawing was featured on the @soulsidedc “Hot Bodi-Gram” LP. An all-time fav!!”
Thanks, Alec!! taken in Washington, DC by @soulsidedc

Spin Of Today -It’s Dischord Dienstag
Soulside – Bass / 103 (Dischord 1989)
A forward-thinking record.
“Bass” already pointed toward the groove, melody, and post-hardcore sound that Scott McCloud would later explore even further with Girls Against Boys.
